Re: [SLE] 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

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
