After reading about your use of rpm --nodeps, I suggest in the future
you either use
yum remove myrpm
instead. There are a few occasions where --nodeps is valuable, but
mostly it is dangerous.
One instance fro reading your post, you have the libglade2-devel package
but not libglade.
Your system is most likely hosed from all of the occasions where you
used rpm -e package --nodeps. To recover, you most likely need to review
your history from the terminal and reinstall the packages again.
Here's a way of checking to see if there are any remaining dependency
issues on your system. You will first need to install the "yum-utils"
package from Fedora Extras:
# yum install yum-utils
The run this:
# package-cleanup --problems
You'll get a report of any remaining broken dependencies.
Paul.
Thanks for mentioning the problem. I ran the program and the items
checked out OK.
I'm curious what the output would be for liberally using the --nodeps
option on the system. I would not use my system for this test though.
package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found
