YUM to update to KDE 3.5.4 fails
Hi all, I read on the KDE website that's possible to use YUM for updating to version 3.5.4. (YaST gives me even more headaches for this task). It's my first attempt using this package manager but with help of Kyum everything was looking fine... until some dependancies showed up... YUM/Kyum was not able to auto-resolve them, so I went one by one using apt-get ... so far so good. Now I still keep on seeing this error message on YUM/Kyum: *** Error: Missing Dependency: qt3-devel = 3.3.4 is needed by package qt3-devel-32bit but according to the system, it is also OK: # rpm -q qt3-devel qt3-devel-3.3.4-28 So, what am I doing wrong? To me, everthing seems to be fine... but hey, it's 06:07 AM and it's been a sleepless night... Thanks in advance, Martin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Martin, I've seen this bug a couple of times myself, but haven't yet contributed it to Yum/Kyum. I've noticed the times it's occurred with my system or others, it's usually a problem with the repositories being accessed. Sometimes the files just aren't there yet, even though yum is reading them to be there. I'm guessing the file it reads shows them, but the files haven't been uploaded yet. Sometimes the updated file is compiled against a different system creating a dependency that shouldn't be there. Since you say you have the correct file installed already, it could possibly be a problem with your rpm database and running rpm --rebuilddb will fix that for you. I've had to just download a few of the complaining files to install them manually also, but it happens so infrequently. I don't think you'll see this problem come up much and should you, I suspect after doing a bit of investigation you'll find as I did it's not a yum problem. hopefully helpful, Lee
Hi BandiPat, hi all again! thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunatelly, running rpm --rebuilddb doesn't fix the problem. I still see the error message *** Error: Missing Dependency: qt3-devel = 3.3.4 is needed by package qt3-devel-32bit showing up... Maybe there's a way to manually edit the repository or config file to skip that check... although it could drive to some inconsistencies I'd like to avoid beforehand... Even better: a proper YUM repository for x86_64 with all files and packages needed to smoothly upgrade to KDE 3.5.4 ... Any hints now??
