The error message tells you that a f11 package _is_ installed already. The full output of "yum -v repolist ; yum -y update" might give a clue, too. > i have gone thru complete lists of update packages checking 'dependency' > lines when these messages show up and i see nothing requiring packages > from f11. rpm -qa qt\* yum list qt\* What do you get for those commands? > i am using fedora 'everything' and 'updates' only. i do not have 'testing' > or 'rawhide' repos enabled. > > error message is; > > +++ > > 03:47:42 : ERROR: Error in yum Transaction : \ > [u'ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:', \ > 'qt = 1:4.5.0-14.fc11 is needed by (installed) > qt-mysql-1:4.5.0-14.fc11.i586', \ > u'Please report this error at http://yum.baseurl.org/report'] > > +++ > > when i get this error, none of the updates are installed. According to the error message, qt-mysql-4.5.0-14.fc11.i586 (with Epoch 1) is what is installed already, and it cannot be updated to a newer "qt" (e.g. the 4.6.x version from F12 Updates), because the corresponding qt-mysql update is not seen. Hence the old qt-mysql blocks the new qt from replacing the old qt. > google for 'please report' line shows nothing to cure or help. In my opinion, the "Please report..." in that error message is misleading. It somehow assumes that the problem _might_ be a bug in Yum instead of a problem in the repositories or in the packages. But it's more likely a problem with your Yum repository configuration or your installation (e.g. duplicates: 'package-cleanup --cleandupes' would help with those). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
