Hi All,
I seem to have an insurmountable FC4 up2date blockage. This particular
machine is an out-of-the-box FC4 install from CD. Nothing special about
the install, which was an 'everything' install. When trying to use
up2date to pick up all the changes since CD-time, I get:
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
cman-kernel 2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC requires /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1390_FC4
dlm-kernel 2.6.11.5-20050601.152643.FC4 requires /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1390_FC4
gnbd-kernel 2.6.11.2-20050420.133124.FC requires /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1390_FC4
Usually (in the past, FC2, FC3) when this has happened, it has cleared in
a few days and it was just a matter of waiting. This has been a week now
and is still stuck.
How can I move forward ?
Updates for these kernel modules (built for the 2.6.12-1.1390_FC4
kernel) have not yet been done for the latest kernel update
(2.6.12-1.1398_FC4).
Easiest thing to do if you're not using them is to delete them.
Cluster Manager Kernel Module:
# rpm -e cman-kernel
Distributed Lock Manager Kernel Module:
# rpm -e dlm-kernel
GFS's Network Block Device Kernel Module:
# rpm -e gnbd-kernel
If you don't know what these are, you almost certainly aren't using them.
Once these are deleted, up2date should start working OK again.
