Hello,
In an earlier thread i reported a problem with yum update but got no reply so i rebooted after the failed yum update and tried it again. This time the output from yum update executed as root is:
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)

Resolving dependencies
....Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package php-ldap needs php = 4.3.8-2.1, this is not available.
Package php-mbstring needs php = 4.3.8-2.1, this is not available.
How do I fix this?
What happened the first time was that yum update froze during its operation.
It stopped at the point:
xpdf 100 % done 121/261
There was no initial conflicts when it started and /var/logs/yum.log
only has entries from my last successful yum update in november.
If there is more info needed to answer my question then please post it.
Thx

Try installing as many updates as you can using "yum update rmt dump squid etc. ..."
When you're left with just the ones that won't work, try "yum clean" and
then try "yum update" again.

I tried to make a yum clean since the package list is from my guessing 261 items....
However it did not work as expected:
yum clean Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Cleaning packages and old headers yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies Damaged Header /var/cache/yum/updates-released/headers/koffice-4-1.3.5-0.FC2.1.i386.hdr Bad Header for pkg koffice.i386 trying to get headers for the nevral - exiting
Sorry but i am not at all familiar with yum. I have never had a problem before so there was never a reason to understand what is going on.
Try removing the file /var/cache/yum/updates-released/headers/koffice-4-1.3.5-0.FC2.1.i386.hdr and then try again. If you get the same problem, try using a different mirror.
Paul.
