Greetings all; Last night I reinstalled yum-2.0.7 again, then added to the exclude= statements in my yum.conf, anything that caused a clash and die failure. Most of the excludes are for stuff that I've either built from tarballs, or in one case, pango*, because it was looking for obsolete XFree86 stuff that has never existed on an FC2 system. Here is that yum.conf: ------- [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 retries=20 #[base] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base #baseurl=http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ #exclude=kernel* kde* xorg* cups* gimp-print* pango* gimp* gtk2* [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ exclude=kernel* kde* xorg* cups* gimp-print* pango* gimp* gtk2* [updates-testing] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Unreleased Updates baseurl=http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/$releasever/$basearch/ exclude=kernel* kde* xorg* cups* gimp-print* pango* gimp* gtk2* #[development] #name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/ #exclude kernel* -------------------- kernel* is excluded because I'm currently running yesterdays -bk7 snapshot. kde* because I've always built kde with konstruct, and I don't have 95% of the problems I see being reported on their mailing lists. cups* because I've always built it, gimp-print etc locally. Ditto for the gimp, and gtk2 was added last night because of another dependency failure. Then I ran a 'yum check-updates'yum and it didn't fail. So I ran it for real, and it downloaded and installed the following rpms. -------------------- Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Unreleased Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [update: ruby-docs 1.8.1-6.i386] [update: cyrus-sasl-gssapi 2.1.18-2.2.i386] [update: cyrus-sasl-md5 2.1.18-2.2.i386] [update: nscd 2.3.3-27.1.i386] [update: dovecot 0.99.10.6-1,FC2,1.i386] [update: tzdata 2004e-1.fc2.noarch] [update: gaim 1:1.0.2-0.FC2.i386] [update: ruby-devel 1.8.1-6.i386] [update: glibc-utils 2.3.3-27.1.i386] [update: xpdf 1:3.00-3.4.i386] [update: pcmcia-cs 3.2.7-1.8.2.1.i386] [update: glibc 2.3.3-27.1.i686] [update: libtiff-devel 3.5.7-20.2.i386] [update: redhat-artwork 0.96-2.i386] [update: glibc-devel 2.3.3-27.1.i386] [update: system-config-users 1.2.25-0.fc2.1.noarch] [update: glibc-headers 2.3.3-27.1.i386] [update: ruby-libs 1.8.1-6.i386] [update: libxml2 2.6.15-2.i386] [update: glibc-common 2.3.3-27.1.i386] [update: libxml2-python 2.6.15-2.i386] [update: libuser 0.52.5-0.FC2.1.i386] [update: w3m 0.5.1-3.1.i386] [update: wget 1.9.1-16.fc2.i386] [update: glibc-profile 2.3.3-27.1.i386] [update: cyrus-sasl-devel 2.1.18-2.2.i386] [update: glib2 2.4.7-1.1.i386] [update: squid 7:2.5.STABLE5-4.fc2.2.i386] [update: ruby-tcltk 1.8.1-6.i386] [update: ruby 1.8.1-6.i386] [update: libxml2-devel 2.6.15-2.i386] [update: libuser-devel 0.52.5-0.FC2.1.i386] [update: cyrus-sasl-plain 2.1.18-2.2.i386] [update: irb 1.8.1-6.i386] [update: glib2-devel 2.4.7-1.1.i386] [update: libtiff 3.5.7-20.2.i386] [update: cyrus-sasl 2.1.18-2.2.i386] ----------------- which includes some libxml2 stuff.
