To be able to run skype on fedora, I need to install package 1:qt-4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 but this is what I get: # yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false install 1:qt-4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package qt.i686 1:4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libcrypto.so.10 for package: 1:qt-4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libsqlite3.so.0 for package: 1:qt-4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libssl.so.10 for package: 1:qt-4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 --> Running transaction check ---> Package openssl.i686 0:1.0.0e-1.fc16 will be installed ---> Package sqlite.i686 0:3.7.7.1-1.fc16 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libtinfo.so.5 for package: sqlite-3.7.7.1-1.fc16.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libreadline.so.6 for package: sqlite-3.7.7.1-1.fc16.i686 --> Processing Dependency: libncurses.so.5 for package: sqlite-3.7.7.1-1.fc16.i686 --> Running transaction check ---> Package ncurses-libs.i686 0:5.9-2.20110716.fc16 will be installed ---> Package readline.i686 0:6.2-2.fc16 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================== Installing: qt i686 1:4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16 fedora 4.3 M Installing for dependencies: ncurses-libs i686 5.9-2.20110716.fc16 fedora 254 k openssl i686 1.0.0e-1.fc16 fedora 1.4 M readline i686 6.2-2.fc16 fedora 182 k sqlite i686 3.7.7.1-1.fc16 fedora 337 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================================== Install 5 Packages Total size: 6.4 M Installed size: 6.4 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running Transaction Check Running Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: package qt-1:4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16.x86_64 (which is newer than qt-1:4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686) is already installed file /usr/share/doc/qt-4.8.0/LICENSE.LGPL from install of qt-1:4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 conflicts with file from package qt-1:4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16.x86_64 file /usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_ja.qm from install of qt-1:4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 conflicts with file from package qt-1:4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16.x86_64 file /usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_ru.qm from install of qt-1:4.8.0-0.11.beta1.fc16.i686 conflicts with file from package qt-1:4.8.0-0.12.20111002.fc16.x86_64 Error Summary -------------
Your qt.x86_64 is from updates-testing, and now you have updates-testing disabled. You cannot install an older qt.i686 than qt.x86_64, they must be the same version. So either downgrade qt.x86_64 to the version from the stable updates or reenable updates-testing. (Yet another casuality of the braindead "updates-testing is enabled by default for prereleases and gets disabled by default shortly before the release" policy I've been complaining about ever since it got introduced. But this is broken by design, there is no bug.)
Though actually, I don't see updates-testing having been disabled in fedora-release yet, so it looks like you disabled it. It's not that easy to get off updates-testing. You have to run "yum distro-sync" if you want to downgrade to stable packages. Or next time, disable updates-testing BEFORE you install ANY updates.
I did not disable updates-testing, see: # yum repolist repo id repo name status adobe-linux-x86_64 Adobe Systems Incorporated 2 fedora Fedora 16 - x86_64 24,917 google-talkplugin google-talkplugin 1 rpmfusion-free-rawhide RPM Fusion for Fedora Rawhide - Free 394 rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide RPM Fusion for Fedora Rawhide - Nonfree 164 updates-testing Fedora 16 - x86_64 - Test Updates 6,669 repolist: 32,147
I even tryed to enable updates repo and install the package, but that didn't work either.
