I run yum update as a cron job every morning. Today I got this message from cron:
------------------------------------------- /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:
Transaction Check Error: package liboil-0.2.2-1.1.fc3.rf (which is newer than liboil-0.2.2-1.1.fc3.fr) is already installed
file /usr/lib/liboiltmp1.so.0.0.0 conflicts between attempted installs of liboil-0.2.2-1.1.fc3.fr and liboil-0.3.0-1
-------------------------------------------
Does anybody knows what does that mean?
yum info liboil gives me 2 answers:
Name : liboil Arch : i386 Version: 0.2.2 Release: 1.1.fc3.rf Size : 865 k Repo : installed
and
Name : liboil Arch : i386 Version: 0.3.0 Release: 1 Size : 102 k Repo : fedora-extras
So I'd think the addition of *fedora-extras* repo to my repos (yesterday) may have something to do with it, but I'm too novice to know anything more than that. :-)
I have my repos installed in *.repo files: $] ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ atrpms.repo fedora.repo kde-redhat.repo dag.repo fedora-updates.repo kde-stable.repo_old fedora-devel.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo livna-stable.repo fedora-extras.repo freshrpms.repo
where only the /stable/ parts are enabled.
I'd really appreciate any hints here.
It would seem that fedora extras conflicts with the rpmforge repos (Dag & friends), which will come as no great surprise to anybody.
Paul.
