</div></div>This last comment was just for some people to notice that sometimes the<br>
error seems to be the same if the dependencies aren't ready yet, but<br>
these errors are not the same.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br><br></div></div>So I had a similar issue for the pst week on my desktop machine. At some point updates did not get applied right. Either I accidentally rebooted the system while updating or something else messed up. I could not update several of the packages that claimed they were missing files or prerequisites. If you run " rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest" and you see "Unsatisfied dependencies" error messages, then you might have the same issue I had.<br>
<br>Now if that is the case you will need to re-download and reinstall the software and you might have to force the re-install of those packages. Now you should just have to re-download the dependancies of the packages you need to get everything updated to the current level.<br>
