You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem. You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest. how can I fix it?
I recently upgraded to Fedora 14 from F13 using Yum, it worked to my amazement except now yum appears to be broken because of a massive amount of dependency issues. It appears the old F13 packages are still around and yum is unable to get ride of them because their dependency with F14 packages of the same name. I tried yum distro-sync, and I tried yum resolvedep $(package-cleanup --orphans) --skip-broken but to no avail. Package--cleanup--orphans identifies all of the left over F13 packages.
I also can't install or upgrade anything using Yum, does give me a reason except the massive amount of dependency issues with the left over F13 packages. When I use the graphical software update it tells me among other things that Yum and RPM have updates but of course it won't update. I did follow the instructions and used yum update yum before I upgraded to F14, maybe it didn't take? Anyway to resolve this issue other than a clean install?
i'm running debian lenny - latest stable i have recently installed smartcam (mobile phone as webcam over bluetooth) from .deb package , get errors of unmet dependency , but application works like a charm, unfortunately broken dependences block my aptitude , i cant fix them either as latest stable use older versions of dependences even in backports... how do i mark smartcam package as not broken and release my apt?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install the driver for my printer, from a repo at Kyoto University. Did it before on other distros (Etch, Lenny,...). One of the three packages has an unmet dependency, libcupsys2-gntls..... (or something- doesn't matter, it's long gone). I expected to be able to use the -d option in apt-get to download it, and unpack it by hand, and place the vital parts in the right positions manually. Done that before, somehow, not necessarily this way. But apt-get won't let me download it, because of the unmet dependency.
Is apt-get really that stupid? If I only want to download it, why does it matter if there is an unmet (and, these days, unmeetable) dependency? Could I download it some other way? I've looked at Aptitude, and can't make head nor tail of it. Synaptic? Have I got the command right? #apt-get -d install package. EDIT: Tried #apt-get install -d package. Also apt-get --download-only --force-yes package. Or I could be really subversive, and copy the two essential files across from my Puppy system. Puppy didn't notice that this lib was missing, just got on with it. Funny old world, isn't it?
On my opensuse 11.2 pc, the Decmber 3rd KDE 4.5.4 update proceeded to install all updates except libkdecore4 (and maybe others). libkdecore4 now has a dependency on liblzma5 which is not available. The result is an all white desktop with boxes where the widgets should be.
I found this bug report: [url]
But I can't find liblzma5 in the repository that is listed in the 2nd posting.
Code:

The problem is that yum is refusing to install gcc on a new SL6 install. As far as I can make out, a security update that I applied prior to my attempt to install gcc has caused problems. I did a new SL6 install (x86_86) a couple of weeks ago. This was a minimal installation, and I didn't install any dev tools, as I intended to install them later from yum. Since then, I've done very little; I installed a few packages (samba, xemacs, etc), and I let the system update itself. The update installed 'kernel', and updated 'kernel-firmware' [URL]. I now need to install the dev tools (g++, and so on), but I can't. I've tried this from gpk-application, and directly from yum. The complete yum output is below, but the basic error is:
> Error: Package: glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 (sl)
> Requires: glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6

I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10.
The terminal and boot show nothing but some random colored pixels at the top.
I also saw the old grub menu on boot.
I just installed brother DCP-350c drivers from here
When I finished I tried to install a scanner driver from brother.
My package manager is broken.
The page mentioned something about that here(just a scroll down)
I tried what they said but the manager is still broken.
It gives me this error report code...
one of the coolest features of Fedora imho is sandbox -X, which I used extensively in F12. However, in F13 I yum install /usr/sbin/seunshare prints:

JGR still works -sort of. That is R works through JGR, but many of the nice features of JGR don't work. Notably, the object browser and package manager do not work, and the function hinting (pop up window showing arguments accepted by a function) dont work either.> JGR :: package.manager()
Error in JGR :: package.manager : package 'JGR' has no name space and is not on the search path

As far as I can tell, this occured on upgrade to 9.10. I've tried using different Java environments, but no real success. I wonder if I should just go for a removal and reinstall of R and JGR?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had one headache after another, first the updates break the bootstrap loader, this is a known issue yet they still continue to release grub updates that effect this and break the boot sequence. I am very surprised that this is done. so onto the next issue, they say use a CD to boot from and move the files for grub2 over, well that has been a nightmare taking two days to only find it deleted my initial Linux install, so wasted days, no real back up for the entire system and lost emails etc. The CDs lock up on boot, they do not load from the CDs and the instructions for fix grub are very lacking.
I would have thought a windoz based solution would have been offered so that this was more easy to do. This boot from a Live CD does not work and the CD downloads are not working either (using them to load via windoz again, but have lost months of work AGAIN). If an update is known to break the bootstrap loader, why on earth would you release updates that continuously break it?? Just ranting as support seems lacking....seems like you are on track to performing like windoz well... I am not impressed in the least given I work in the Open Source Community and havve done so for years..
Any clues as to how I got in this state? I allowed something like 100 updates this morning and these packages won't complete:

Just when I thought I was getting my Ubuntu 10.04 system stabilized and really usable, the webcam magically stopped working. When I first installed 10.04, the webcam worked perfectly right out of the box. Tonight, I tried to start the video in a Skype conversation, and nothing. Video preferences in Skype showed no options for a camera. Rebooting the machine didn't help.
The one relevant thing I can think of that happened between the last time it worked and tonight is installing a number of updates. I'm not sure how to look up which packages were installed when -- I'm happy to run commands if someone can provide them.
Unfortunately, I don't remember how it was configured before. Since it was working, I didn't look at /dev to see where the camera shows up. At the moment, there is no /dev/video*. Clearly the system doesn't recognize that the camera is there, but it did before.. I don't recall device specifics. I looked online for a spec sheet that would say who is the webcam manufacturer, but I can only find the resolution. Tomorrow I have to boot into Windows to do some other work and I can get hardware info then.The machine is an MSI A6200 220US; the specs seem not to be available on MSI's website anymore.
Gnome has decided to break on me.
When I log in there are no panels, no menus and lots of other things have gone awry.
Fail-safe is fine.
I have read lots of articles, deleted various .gconf files, problem remains...

I am very new to Ubuntu. I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday from downloading file from Website on my Acer Laptop. I want to install Virtual box and run Win XP to run some of the windows based programs. I downloaded deb file from virtualbox website for Ubuntu 9.10 and double clicked that file. The installer in Ubuntu immediately gave the following error.
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-network (>= 4.5.1)
I re-downloaded the file. But again same problem. I am not able to figure out what is wrong. I have got the latest update of Ubuntu running as I run the update after the the installation.
I am using Ubuntu Hardy. I tried to install Skype and it showed this error message "Skype dependency is not satisfiable libasound2". Then I check the synaptic manager it shows that the libasound2 is already installed. Then I reinstalled the libasound2 using terminal. But the error is still showing. On googleing I found in most of the forums the solution was to upgrade from edgy to feisty so it was no use to me.
