Hi
We are running handful of Fedora Core 3 workstations. We have just setup for yum updates for each machine. 3 of the machines wouldn't update due to dependency errors. Here's one of the error readouts:
From machine 1: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: php= 4.3.9-3 for package: php-ldap --> Processing Dependency: php= 4.3.9-3 for package: php-pear --> Processing Dependency: php= 4.3.9-3 for package: php-mysql --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: php is needed by package php-ldap Error: Missing Dependency: php is needed by package php-pear Error: Missing Dependency: php is needed by package php-mysql
Running rpm -qa | grep php revealed inconsistent package versions:
php-mysql-4.3.11-2.5 php-pear-4.3.9-3 php-4.3.9-3 php-pear-4.3.11-2.5 php-ldap-4.3.11-2.5 php-mysql-4.3.9-3
We easily resolved this by uninstalling php (and all dependents) and the reinstalling. Fine. However, we won't be able to do this on the other machines as some of the packages involved are system related such as xorg and hal.
These machines are all the same, they have the default files setup in /etc/yum.repos.d/ other than fedora-updates.repo which points to our local cache repos of the updates. None of the machines had been updated before.
So my questions are:
1. I noticed from the list that others have been experiencing similar problems, does anyone know how some machines can get into this state and not others?
2. Can anyone recommend a safe way to resolve the dependency problem involving system packages? (Yum errors listed below)
