The el5 packages appear to have a bogus dependency on python >= 2.6. This should either be removed or changed to python26 on el5, I think. # yum update mock Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, kmdl, kmod, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.rackspace.com * base: yum.singlehop.com * epel: archive.linux.duke.edu * epel-testing: archive.linux.duke.edu * extras: mirror.rackspace.com * updates: mirror.ash.fastserv.com epel | 3.7 kB 00:00 epel-testing | 3.7 kB 00:00 Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package mock.noarch 0:1.0.18-1.el5 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: python >= 2.6 for package: mock --> Finished Dependency Resolution mock-1.0.18-1.el5.noarch from epel-testing has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: python >= 2.6 is needed by package mock-1.0.18-1.el5.noarch (epel-testing) Error: Missing Dependency: python >= 2.6 is needed by package mock-1.0.18-1.el5.noarch (epel-testing) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Ah this slipped by me in the last update. Shouldn't be 2.6 but 2.4; I'll fix it in the next update.
