Folks; I've been trying to update Fedora 9 since last week and I keep
getting Dependency Resolution Failed. It says Missing Dependency:
tcl-devel = 1:8.5.1 is needed by package 1:tk-devel: 8.5.1-4.fc9.i386.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks in advance.


It is trivial to do the following. (as root)
yum list updates > updates
Edit updates to leave only the packages. Put #! /bin/bash at the top.

You don't need to do that any more. Yum will skip the broken packages.
(I don't think skip_broken is the default, so you probably want to add
that option to /etc/yum.conf .)

When I was using rawhide I automated this with scripts and python
programs (well, more sophisticated than this). There are almost always
dependency errors in rawhide, so you would never get any updates if you
didn't do something like this.

Things should be much better now. (THe change happened during the F9 rawhide
period.) Only some file conflicts which are detected after the packages to
be updated are selected, cause all updates to fail.
