General :: How Yum / Apt-Get Resolve Dependency Errors
Mar 22, 2011
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.
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.
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'm having problems installing things like "Teamspeak" and Netsupport on my 64 bit fedora 14. Now netsupport will run in the terminal window, but won't install.
However the thing that hurts the worst right now, is "Open Office" I open a terminal window, type "su" put in the password and run the installer from a prompt cd'd to the setup file. I get back dependency errors that I don't understand. So I ran the updates and tried again. No luck. I have screenshots of the error messages in case someone could help me decode, they download to full size if they aren't read-able enough.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad SL510, with a "Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)" wireless adapter, on Ubuntu 11.04 x64. When I run updates, I get many resolve errors "Something wicked happened resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com," and other errors like that.Also, the internet connection runs incredibly slowly, and a lot of my downloads through firefox freeze and fail. I'm wondering if all of these problems are connected. Here are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
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? Code: Dependency Resolution Errors: Package: vlc-core-1.1.8-1.fc15.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-rawhide) Requires: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.15)(64bit)Package: gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.21-2.fc15.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-rawhide) Requires: gstreamer-plugins-bad-free >= 0.10.21 Installed: gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.20-3.fc14.1.x86_64 (@updates) gstreamer-plugins-bad-free = 0.10.20-3.fc14.1 Available: gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.20-3.fc14.i686 (fedora) .....
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 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.
I've been trying to get Xmonad installed and keep running into dependency installation issues. So far, I've used slackbuilds to get everything I need for Xmonad. (I'm pretty new to linux still, but as far as I know, having 64bit slack shouldn't be an issue in running 32bit applications?)
I have- ghc-6.12.1 haskell-mtl
The main issue I've had thus far is with the Haskell-X11 (1.5.0.0) dependency, I downloaded the slackbuild:
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'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: file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/cryptsetup.mo from install of cryptsetup-luks-1.1.0-0.4.fc12.x86_64 conflicts with file from package cryptsetup-luks-1.0.6-7.fc11.i586 file /usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/cryptsetup.mo from install of cryptsetup-luks-1.1.0-0.4.fc12.x86_64 conflicts with file from package cryptsetup-luks-1.0.6-7.fc11.i586 file /usr/share/man/man8/cryptsetup.8.gz from install of cryptsetup-luks-1.1.0-0.4.fc12.x86_64 conflicts with file from package cryptsetup-luks-1.0.6-7.fc11.i586
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 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 installed Vista in VirtualBox 2 days ago and all has been well since. However I just started VB tonight and although it started up ok, when I clicked on Start (Vista) I get the following pop-ups. Although one of the errors appears to say what I should do, I don't understand it Could somebody tell me what I need to do to fix it please? Preferably in English
I've had a lot of success over the past year with Ubuntu 10.4; however, recently I've been experiencing nothing but problems. It all started with an upgrade a month ago that caused me to experience a boot error. Now every time I re-install the system, I will have a random boot error. I have been trying to install the system on a friend's computer and getting the same thing. I've tried a different download and burned different discs, but I am still experiencing problems with the system having a boot error. Sometimes it is immediate after installation and other times it might boot fine for a day or two and then suddenly it will no longer boot. Is there some kind of bug with 10.4 now? I never, never had this hard of a time with Ubuntu. I've installed it on several computers for myself and other people.
I'm trying to troubleshoot some strange networking problems. The pattern seems to be that only newer distributions are affected. CentOS 5.4 and Ubuntu 8.04 work fine out-of-the-box. But Arch, Sidux, AntiX, Fedora, etc. show the same pattern of errors.Certain websites cannot be found unless I disable ipv6 in Firefox. And certain addresses cannot be resolved using various terminal commands (wget, apt-get, yum, etc.). What I would ideally like is a permanent solution, perhaps changing some settings on my router, so that I don't have to deal with this each time I test-drive a new distro. I have a hunch the issue has something to do with my DSL provider (Fairpoint) filing for bankruptcy.
One more piece of information that may or may not be relevant: I recently switched a website from one hosting company to another. I noticed there was a delay of several days where I saw the old version at the old host, but viewing the site at a friend's house or the coffee shop showed the new site on the new host. This leads me to suspect DNS issues perhaps, but this is not an area of expertise.
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?
Fedora 12 2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686I have tried doing the recommended as its saids at the bottom. However, that didn't work. So I have to yum upgrade --skip-brokenDoes anyone know how to solve this problem?

I'm working on a Linux distro, and I have the full thing compiled and everything, but it is centered around a single program (a rendering engine). Is there any way that I can figure out what dependencies the binary has at runtime? I know I don't need gcc and a ton of other files, but I'm not sure what I can remove to decrease size (I'm aiming at under 20 MB, as Slitaz Live CD is only 30, but it has a ton more stuff than my CLI thing).
We built a library by linking it with a shared library libjvm.so. Now, when I do ldd mylib.so, it does not list libjvm.so. When I run an application, I get a symbol missing from mylib.so, which is actually defined in libjvm.so. Even if I set libjvm.so path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the error does not go away.
I have just installed the centos 5.3 on my server machine. It looks for a USB media to boot. But I am not able to figure it out what i have done wrong. Why does it asks for USB media?If I have created a dependency of USB to boot, Is there any way i can remove this dependency. Or I have to reinstall the OS again?
