A while ago i try to update my notebook with yum, and for some reason there was a conflict between the kmod-nvidia driver and another package. So i did all the normal methods that the error suggest me, also yum clean metadata. But when i try to update the same error got me again, so i got wild and type yum clean all. Try again and it work! So, that's why i suggested to do the same. :) I think that with the package-cleanup --problems and the --dupes something was still there, so the clean all remove it. And a short time ago i was having almost the same issue, i asked for help in the mailing list, and the problem this time was that the package have been updated in the mirror but not it's dependencies. So after a couple of days the error wasn't there anymore. That's my history XD, a very short one. > poc > My kind regards. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
