wxGTK version conflicts w wxGTK from dag repo
Last modified: 2008-01-22 01:24:49 EST
Description of problem: Dag's EL4 repo has at least one package (vlc) built against wxGTK2.6 -- epel's repo has a newer wxGTK - 2.8 - presumably required by packages in epel. Clearly, this causes issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8.4-4.el4.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.install wxGTK from epel (or set up both the epel and dag repos in yum) 2.try doing a 'yum install vlc' 3.failure Actual results: cannot install vlc due to epel's wxGTK being selected over the dag one Expected results: vlc installs Additional info: It would be great if you guys could coordinate w. dag (and the other repos out there) to help avoid issues like this. While I am aware of yum plugins that allow one to specify repo priorities (in my case, epel is a higher prioritiy than dag due to my needing the lower versioned epel wine over the higher versioned dag wine), clearly now I need the lower versioned dag wxGTK over the higher versioned epel wxGTK - so, I need the priorities in both directions *sigh*
Sorry, but when mixing repos, you must solve the conflicts yourself. Probably an exclude list containing wxGTK in the EPEL repo definition will workaround this conflict.
