I'm trying to upgrade from FC4 to FC5 via yum. I followed the
instructions found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq
I'm not able to get through the initial yum update. I've removed all
the packages I can which had dependencies, and I'm down to the following
list:
Error: Missing Dependency: libneon.so.24 is needed by package librpm4.4
Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-headers >= 2.6.18 is needed by package
audit-libs-python
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12 is needed by package heartbeat
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12(GNUTLS_1_2) is needed by
package heartbeat
Error: hal conflicts with kernel < 2.6.17
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12(GNUTLS_1_2) is needed by
package stonith
Error: Missing Dependency: libdbus-1.so.2 is needed by package
notify-daemon
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.12 is needed by package stonith
I don't have audit-libs-python, heartbeat, hal, or stonith. Any attempt
to even use rpm -e <any of the four> results in "package not installed."
I'm afraid to remove librpm4.4 as that will remove yum itself.
I have a custom kernel 2.6.17.13, so I don't want to install another
kernel unless I have too.
This installation is loaded on a LTSP diskless boot environment, so, a
fresh install is rather cumbersome, hence the yum upgrade attempt.
Can anyone recommend a solution at to how to resolve this list of issues
so I can do the yum update?
Thanks,
Jim
You might try to upgrade groups of packages that relate to the problem,
like gnutls to see if it pulls in the additional packages. You might
have to remove the conflicting packages and then build them again from
source after upgrade or change the repository from FC4 to FC5 versions
before attempting an upgrade.
You might try also to retrieve the packages in smaller groups and check
what more packages are available to install after the upgrades progress
to a manageable amount remaining.
It should be possible to determine what needs to be removed, upgraded
from another repo and the like.
Just do the upgrade from a VT instead of a graphical terminal since some
of the upgrades will eventually respawn the GUI server. When that
happens your rpm database will be a mess.
That's all I can think of.
