When I ran "yum update" on one of my computers it failed with the following error message ========================================== Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package nmh.i386 0:1.1-5.fc3 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: mh for package: exmh --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: mh is needed by package exmh ========================================== I see that the nmh package it is trying to update is in fedora-extras, but there does not appear to be any package mh in any of the "standard" fedora repositories. I would have thought that all the packages required by a package on fedora-extras should be in one of these fedora repositories? I should say that I don't really want nmh anyway, and I avoided the problem by disabling fedora-extras. But I am wondering how this arises? Also, how could one get round it without disabling anything? Yum is a great resource, in my experience. But it is very difficult to know what to do if you get a dependency failure. The only general solution I have found is to exclude the problematic package. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
