Hi,
I just installed FC for the first time and yum shows me many updates
including one which it is unable to install due to a conflict. The
conflicting packages are
python-devel - 2.4.4-1.fc6.x86_64 updates python-devel -
2.4.3-18.fc6.x86_64
python-devel - 2.4.4-1.fc6.i386 updates python-devel - 2.4.3-18.fc6.i386
and the error message I receive is
python-devel conflicts with python < 2.4.4-1.fc6
Where is the problem?
Which versions of the python packages do you currently have, and what
command are you using to do the update?
$ rpm -q --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n' python
python-devel
Paul.
Thanks Paul, I figured the problem out although I am not sure how I
ended up in this situation since this is a new install of FC6 to which I
only applied the official updates.
This is what the above command returned:
python-2.4.3-18.fc6.x86_64
python-2.4.4-1.fc6.x86_64
python-devel-2.4.3-18.fc6.i386
python-devel-2.4.3-18.fc6.x86_64
Notice the lone 2.4.4 package in this list. I ended up removing the
python-2.4.4-1.fc6.x86_64 package and then the update updated all
packages to version 2.4.4 without any complaint.
