yum update from kde-testing broken packages due to dependency issues

[Christos Lazaridis]

Hi,

I tried to yum -update from the kde-testing repo and I got most of the 
packages not updating due to broken dependencies. I tried to figure out what 
the problem was from the yum output but I couldn't understand much. 

Also, I don't get why some i686 packages are pulled (like pykde4) although I 
have a 64-bit system. Note that the system does not try to update these 
packages if kde-testing repo is disabled.

I have attached the yum output in case it is more enlightening to someone 
else.

cheers,
  Christos.

this happens all the time on broken deps if yum thinks they
can be solved by pull i686 until it finds out that
it will not work

yum --skip-broken --exclude=\*i686 update

Please provide the output when you do not try to skip-broken

Thanks

You seem to have some kde multilib libraries installed.  Be aware our 
kde-* repos only include minimal multilib support (qt only for the most 
part), so if you have any kde*.i686 pkgs installed, you may run into issues.

For some strange reason I had the i686 (as well as the x86_64) version of 
qtwebkit, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdepimlibs-akonadi installed. I removed the 
i686 packages and I had no trouble updating after that.

Thanks everyone for the help!

  Christos.
