Description of problem: Red Hat released new pidgin RPMs this week (version 2.5.5-1) but did not release a pidgin-docs RPM. Thus, I get errors when trying to install the new pidgin RPMs because of dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pidgin-2.5.5-1 How reproducible: Very. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download new pidgin-2.5.5-1, libpurple-2.5.5-1 and finch-2.5.5-1 RPMs 2. Attempt installation of said RPMs 3. Actual results: pidgin = 2.5.2-6.el5 is needed by (installed) pidgin-docs-2.5.2-6.el5.x86_64 Expected results: All RPMs should install without error. Additional info: The i386 architecture also has this same problem.
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-1023.html pidgin-2.5.2-6.el5 did not ship pidgin-docs. Where did you get pidgin-docs from? pidgin-docs was built in error in that older version, but it was excluded from being shipped to customers.
}pidgin-2.5.2-6.el5 did not ship pidgin-docs. Where did you get pidgin-docs }from? I installed pidgin-docs directly from the RHEL5.3 DVD. mount rhel-client-5.3-x86_64-dvd.iso /junk -o loop ls -la /junk/Client/pidgin-docs-2.5.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
