I had this happen a few times. It was fixed by one of 2 things (depending upon the cause). 1) If the mirror being used is out of sync, wait a while (sometimes 1 - 2 days) for them to resync and try again. 2) Verify the package that it is complaining about then check /var/log/yum.log to find out when and from what repo that package was installed. Sometimes I use certain repos only for specific packages and updates may break the dependencies there. Enable the repo again to do the update usually solves that. > > > > Any ideas what is going on here? > > gosh ... gcc ... libtool ... where have i seen this before? :-) what > repositories do you have enabled? i went through exactly this > recently, and you might want to cut back on your repos. > > where does yum think you're getting these updates from? that is, > which repos? > > rday >
