Fedora Installation :: Upgrading To FC12 Due To Conflicts And Dependency Errors
Feb 17, 2010
I've been trying to upgrade my installation for some time now and just can't quite get it right. I would upgrade from the DVD but the installer hangs when it says "Looking for installation images on CD device /dev/sr0". However, that's not really my question. I've resorted to the upgrade instructions as found at [URL]. If I don't use the '--skip-broken' option it complains about the following:
abrt-gui-0.0.11-1.fc12.x86_64 from fedora
abrt-libs-1.0.6-1.fc12.x86_64 from updates
samba-3.4.5-55.fc12.x86_64 from updates
samba-client-3.4.5-55.fc12.x86_64 from updates
samba-common-3.4.5-55.fc12.x86_64 from updates
samba-winbind-3.4.5-55.fc12.x86_64 from updates
samba-winbind-clients-3.4.5-55.fc12.x86_64 from updates
If I use the skip broken option, it then complains about:
Transaction Check Error:

I can't seem to remedy this problem. There were other conflicts but I just removed those packages. When I attempt to remove 'cryptsetup-luks' it then tells me it's going to remove something like 200 others which did not sound like a good idea.
I'd like to reproduce the way I got to f12 from f11, but obviously to f13 basically I started out on the f11 rawhide repos, then as f12 got released a yum update updated my fedora-release and then hey presto I was automatically upgraded to f12 final release if I now turn on my rawhide repos, as f13 is nearing completion, will I be updated to the latest f13 release (RC3 I believe) and then as f13 gets released my fedora-release will be updated and i will then be upgraded to f13 final as happened before?I don't want to download a whole dvd iso and then upgrade when f13 is final, I'd like to do a gradual transition ie..
f12 -> f13 RC3 via rawhide f13 RC3 -> f13 Final via yum update
I only began using Linux with the release of FC8. I've upgraded into every new version (upgrade, no clean installs), after the new versions had been out a while. I struggle with command lines, updates, cups and other very cool tools that are only difficult because they have so many options. I'm Windows guy at work, a system admin and db administrator, plus the company expert on Excel. But, all in all, I hate Windows, and I'm loving Fedora, even if I struggle.
This last upgrade really kicked me in the pants. The first thing I noticed was all of my software sources were gone. I did some research around the forum and tried a few things, but it's still not working. Unfortunately, I may have uninstalled Yum in the process, but not rpm. I've tried to re-install the yum packages, but still no luck.
This morning before leaving for work I noticed that a boot log indicated that cups had failed. I went in to restart the service (through gui) and it said it was running. So I stopped the service and re-started. I tried to access port 631 through Firefox and it wouldn't open. I need to check the firewall to see if it's an open port, but beyond that I don't know.
Now I'm wondering if I should just do a clean install. I haven't done this, mainly because I didn't want to hassle with setting up my printer again (although, it's a Brother and they have the drivers and good instructions), and I didn't want to lose any emails that I've received via Thunderbird. The printer is really a non-issue now, as I'll have to set it up anyway. I have a backup of the /usr folder and all the documents. Question is, if I restore the Thunderbird folder after a clean install, would it bring back my email?
A package nss >= 3.12.8 is not available. But it is needed by thunderbird update in the course of "yum update". yum exits with RC 1.Is "--skip-broken" the right way to exclude the thunderbird update ("Resolve depsolve problems by removing packages that are causing problems from the transaction")? Or is there a better way to exclude a package? Problem screen output:
---> Package thunderbird.x86_64 0:3.0.10-1.fc12 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: nss >= 3.12.8 for package: thunderbird-3.0.10-1.fc12.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution
Following this from the wiki: It states Testing shows that upgrading within X will cause X to hang when installing bitmap-fonts-compat, but it can be done anyway by making sure that bitmap-fonts-compat is the last package to update. How do you ensure that its the last package to update?
First install the new fedora 13 gpg key. You may wish to verify this package against [URL] and the fedora ssl certificate. rpm --import [URL] Upgrade all packages with yum update yum yum clean all yum --releasever=13 distro-sync
- Testing shows that upgrading within X will cause X to hang when installing bitmap-fonts-compat, but it can be done anyway by making sure that bitmap-fonts-compat is the last package to update ... YMMV. - Intel video no longer works without Kernel Mode Setting (KMS). You must remove 'nomodeset' from your /etc/grub.conf kernel command line, if present. - nVidia video no longer works without kernel mode Setting (KMS). You must remove 'nomodeset' from your /etc/grub.conf kernel command line, if present. - It may be necessary to run "db_recover -h /var/lib/ldap/ ; chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap/*" once in order for slapd to start.
I've recently installed cacti on one of my servers and grimaced a bit when I had to install additional third-party yum repositories for CentOS 6. My question is, how does one go about preventing potential conflicts with certain dependencies overwriting key/critical dependencies relied upon from packages that might share them, i.e. apache? I understand yum priorities and have read the discussions regarding pros/cons from the threads involving one of the YUM maintainers. Since I need my servers to act as production-class equipment and, hence, be as reliable as they can, I'm always hesitant to allow yum to automate package upgrades when third-party repos are involved. How best to handle this?
I am new to Fedora (using Constantine). I want to like it and it works nicely with on my Thinpad but there is a problem that would make me swith back to Ubuntu/Mint if I don't find a solution to it: I get dependency errors all the time missing librpm.so.0()(64bit) and librpmio.so.0()(64bit)
First I had this problem installing KDEnline and I thought, this program might be to exotic but the same problem stopped the installation of OpenOffice which is very strange. Is installing programs always such difficult for all the different packages like for Open Office? Is Fedora maybe to difficult for me as a intermediate user?
I know I have this problem but how can I fix this dependency error?

I have an issue with kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64. I ran the updates on Christmas Eve and it updated from kernel-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64 to kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64. When I rebooted, I no longer received the Fedora Bubble boot screen. It comes up with the Fedora boot bar (across the bottom). Also, I receive failures during boot with the following:
I am running Fedora 12 64-bit on a MacBookPro5,1 system. After two weeks of not running Fedora on the system, I boot into it and check for updates with Yum Extender. It only finds a small handful of updates despite the fact that my other system running Fedora 12 32-bit has installed several update over the past two weeks. When I try to apply the available updates I get the following errors: Dependency Resolution Errors:

What is needed to resolve these update issues? Also, I suspect the system is not picking up all the updates that it should. What can I do to determine which updates the system should be getting?
I'm currently running VB 3.0.10 on Fedora 12 64 bit.
When I attempt to upgrade my current install to 3.1 I get the following:
I am somewhat puzzled as this is a upgrade from a stable installed version. I have confirmed I have libcrypto.so.8 . . . from what I can tell its part of the openssl package but I've got the most current so I don't know how to obtain the libcrypto.so.10 file to correct this issue.
I have an Intel Core2 Duo system that I upgraded from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 (32-bit). When I try to install updates from YUM I get the following error output:
I just installed Fedora 14 via live CD on my netbook. I am trying to install open office and it's saying I have conflicting files but Open Office is not installed. Yes, this is a nooby question and I'm usually quite good with Linux but this has just baffled me.
I issued "yum update" and the process ended with a transaction check error(see below). Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test

I installed Oracle Database on this server few months ago. I see in /etc/yum.repos.d directory a public-yum-el5.repo file with entries pointing to Oracle which must have come from that installation. Now how do I proceed from here?
I have a HP Pavilion dv7-2230sa During boot I get a series of errors about ACPI and AHCI Conflicts, the result of which I have to dissable ACPI with acpi=off. However when acpi=off my wireless Broadcom b43 series refuses to enable the wifi. I just can't press the button that would enable / dissable the wifi.
The wifi is detected, the drivers and firmware are installed, however the light remains firmly in the RED.the ethernet works, sound works fine, There also seems to be an issue with the ATi/Radeon Driver being missing which is causing fatal errors at boot time and also some memory conflicts again causing fatal errors.
I have tried this laptop under opensuse 11.2 and now under opensuse 11.3M5 without sucsess - however to my dislike Ubuntu have managed to resolve this by accident between 9.4 and 9.10 but i wanna use opensuse not ubuntu i have asked them to tell me how they fixed it to share it with you but I am still plowing my way through their forum!
I upgraded to 8.04 on AMD64 machine. I started to upgrade to 10.04 LTS using the System -> Admin -> Update manager. After packages started installing began getting MANY error popup windows saying dpkg exiting with errors. Looking at the terminal window I see a lot of "cannot utime" and it appears to be some error with tar. I saw on another forum that Lucid has a bug with tar. Now the distribution upgrade has just locked. What should I do?
Release upgrade ends up with error: "Error during update. A problem occurred during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry. The server may be overloaded. Restoring original system state". When doing do-release-upgrade -d to upgrade from karmik to lucid. I using local mirror ftp://ubuntu.snacho.ru (also have http that works but not browseable). When I change lines in /etc/apt/sources.list from local mirror to official [URL] all works fine. I don't want to download 1Gb from internet (because of traffic cost). What is wrong with local mirror ? I can communicate with its owner, but what he needs to change on the mirror ?
Alright, I have downloaded the upgrade for 10.04 and installed upgraded from my previous 8.04. Everything was working all fine until I had to reboot my pc. When I did i got some errors
Mount: Mounting none on /dev
It goes on to tell me that my UUID does not exist. Then it says
ALERT! Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx$ does not exist. Dropping to a shell! It then drops to a very simple shell which has no flexibility and is very frustrating.
EDIT: This is the full error message

I downloaded the latest version of Tellico as a .deb file directly from the Tellico website,since the version available in the repositories no longer works with Amazon. This new version has been available at the web site since November,but has yet to be updated on the Ubuntu sites.Anyway,I tried to install it by double-clicking it in Nautilus. That brought up Package Manager which says that it cannot be installed - "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable". Is there anyway to force either Package Manager or aptitude ot dpkg to install the package along with any dependencies that are required?
Say if I want to install openssh in traditional way with ./configure then make and make install which works fine in Fedora but not in Ubuntu as it gives error for a Mailer program when ran ./configure, as sendmail is by default installed in Fedora but not in Ubuntu. What I need to know is how yum/apt-get resolve this dependency problem? Is there any file in the OS where it's listed all the dependencies along with the package names like in Redhat installation CD there are some XML files where it lists all the packages along with their dependencies.
I want to Upgrade my system from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 but when I use: yum -y update, my system comes up with a lot of dependency errors for Fedora 12, Fedora 13, and Fedora 14.
Right now I just want to upgrade to Fedora 11 and dont understand how I have managed to download packages for Fedora 11, 12, 13 and 14.
I don't know what I did, but I did something recently, as Pandora keeps getting dependency errors. Pandora is working just fine, but if I open the Software Center, it tells me it needs to fix itself before it can do anything. If I do this, Pandora gets removed. And I have an error box next to the Pandora icon on the upper right bar, telling me: An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrockenCount>0' This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies. And this is on a 64bit Maverick install, though it was doing the same on the 64bit Lucid install (I just did the Maverick beta upgrade today).
Also, in a terminal: Code: -desktop:~$ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: kdesudo update-manager-kde Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED: com.pandora.desktop.fb9956fd96e03239939108614098ad95535ee674.1 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 1,114kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
I use Pandora desktop app, so I don't want to remove it. But I don't have any idea what the problem here is.
actually i am new for this forum and for Linux also. i am using redhat enterprise Linux 5 its not licensed. i am having so much dependency issues is there any way by using which i can resolve dependencies. and i am already made repository. but till i am facing the same issue for any rpm.

And I see that if I uninstall the dhclient package, I will lose my networkmanager, which I also need, is there a way to have a dhcp server as well as dhclient utility on fedora as it is possible on rhel?
