Hello All:

Subject: RHEL 5.1 > RHEL 5.2 Dependency Hell.

On May 23rd, when Red Hat released the Tikanga updates for RHEL 5.2, I
updated my RHEL 5.1 system. However, after the yum process had
updated a few hundred files, and installed some new ones, I was left
with a some unfinished updates.

In an effort to correct this, and provide a good environment, I ran the following:

# rpm –rebuilddb
# yum clean packages headers metadata dbcache

and then...

# yum update -y

I still receive:

--> Running transaction check

Error: Missing Dependency: evolution-data-server = 1.8.0-25.el5 is needed by package evolution-data-server-devel

In the past, under lessor circumstances, I would have downloaded all
rpms of similar file names that already were on my system. Then I'd
try a:

# rpm -ivh *.*

This would work fine. However, in the above situation, my “Dependency
Hell” seems too extensive. Because of these residual unsatisfied
dependencies, the subsequent Red Hat updates have all been done
manually, by file name, so I don't fall behind.

Any ideas? Thank you.

1PW,


I downloaded the DVD iso and started first with:
mount -o loop /path-to-iso/rhel-5-server-x86_64-dvd.iso /mnt
cd /mnt/Server
for i in *.rpm
do
yum localupdate $i
done

after that i ran:
yum -y update


Kind regards,
