Using Yum Updates with Jpackage.org repos

[Dan Thurman]

Hi Folks,

Got a problem.  I stumbled onto this group (jpackage.org) when
I wanted to install the JDK 5.0 on FC4 and in order to do that,
part of the instructions was to install the jpackage repos for Yum.

I was able to install the JDK 5.0 on FC4. Great!

But unfortunately, I was not able to use yum update because there
is a dependency conflict regarding jms and this prevents me from
updating FC4 as well.  So I am forced to move the jpackage repos
aside until this issue is resolved.

Here is the yum update output:

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: jms for package: avalon-logkit
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: jms is needed by package avalon-logkit

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Dan Thurman

Downloading and installing geronimo-specs and geronimo-specs-compat
from rawhide should solve this.  Option B would be to build and
install the jms package from JPackage.
