Description of problem: Not really yum per se, but a packaging problem: cannot update the system because of packaging dependencies error for Tcl/Tk packages, which blocks the entire update. The workaround is to exclude Tcl/Tk from the update process: yum update -x tcl* -x tk* The system is a brand spanking new Fedora 9 install, with everything; just did a couple of update cycles after loading from F9 DVD. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This happens as of Sat Jun 28, 08:30 EST (relevant because the packaging dependencies are received from the Fedora update sites as of that date) How reproducible: very reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update 2. observe Error: Missing dependency messages Actual results: yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package tcl-devel.i386 1:8.5.2-1.fc9 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: tcl = 1:8.5.1 for package: tk --> Processing Dependency: tcl-devel = 1:8.5.1 for package: tk-devel ---> Package tcl.i386 1:8.5.2-1.fc9 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution 1:tk-devel-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: tcl-devel = 1:8.5.1 is needed by package 1:tk-devel-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 (installed) 1:tk-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: tcl = 1:8.5.1 is needed by package 1:tk-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: tcl-devel = 1:8.5.1 is needed by package 1:tk-devel-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: tcl = 1:8.5.1 is needed by package 1:tk-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 (installed) Expected results: Of course I expected a successful yum update
