Hello, Everyone I (hopefully) just re-read this entire thread before I sent this, and I THINK that this aspect of this problem has not been mentioned. sylpheed-claws (from Fedora Extras) requires libpisock.so.9, which was provided by pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre4.5.2.1.i386.rpm. See the following: --> Processing Dependency: libpisock.so.9 for package: sylpheed-claws Error: Missing Dependency: libpisock.so.9 is needed by package sylpheed-claws BUT, kdepim requires libpisock.so.8 (which comes with the recent update - pilot-link-0.11.8-12.4.fc5.i386.rpm. See the following: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libpisock.so.8 for package: kdepim I just finished playing around with this, and I don't WANT to go through it again (but I will if you think it is necessary) But I found that if I want to install sylpheed-claws from Fedora Extras, I cannot have kdepim or any of it's dependencies installed. Not a HUGE deal, since my main installation of KDE is compiled from source (Branch 3.5 from KDE SVN) But this might affect someone else. Just so you can see that both versions of libpisock.so were mentioned in the same yum transaction, see the following: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libpisock.so.8 for package: kdepim --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for pilot-link to pack into transaction set. pilot-link-0.11.8-12.4.fc 100% |=========================| 21 kB 00:00 ---> Package pilot-link.i386 2:0.11.8-12.4.fc5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: pilot-link = 1:0.12.0-0.pre4.5.2.1 for package: pilot-link-devel --> Processing Dependency: libpisock.so.9 for package: sylpheed-claws --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for pilot-link-devel to pack into transaction set. pilot-link-devel-0.11.8-1 100% |=========================| 14 kB 00:00 ---> Package pilot-link-devel.i386 2:0.11.8-12.4.fc5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libpisock.so.9 for package: sylpheed-claws --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libpisock.so.9 is needed by package sylpheed-claws Admittedly, I arrived at this point by uninstalling evolution and all of it's dependencies, then removing all pilot-related RPM's (this resulted in me removing a few KDE RPM's. So the above contextual output is actually the result of the following command: yum install kdepim kdepim-devel kdeaddons kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner kdesdk kdesdk-devel kdewebdev kdewebdev-devel kdevelop I assume that the new update for pilot-link that I saw mentioned in this thread will fix this problem. Have a Great Day, Steven P. Ulrick
