up2date question
by Bob Barnes
OK I'm back and online with FC 2x2. Did an upgrade from FC1 just now and
all seems to be working well. At least the internet connect is working
through eth0 like it should be. One question that's relatively important
though. According to up2date I have 170 updates with 0 ignored. Don't
mind that at all if it's correct. BUT when I get around to the "fetching
rpmheader cdrdao-1.1.8-3" in the progress dialog it hangs. Let it go for
about 20 minutes twice and the same hang same spot. I have a cable modem
that averages 200KBps in linux and winxppro so I know it's not that as I
did a couple test d/ls prior to writing you all and it was fine. Getting
the updates from fedora core rawhide. Should I change something
somewhere for a better feed?
Thanx for any help, Gotta go to the Dr's now but if I live I'll be
eagerly awaiting any replies.

Dependency problems
by Phil Schaffner
Trying to update today gives the following dependency problems:
Package dvgrab needs libdv.so.2, this is not available.
Package pwlib needs libdv.so.2, this is not available.
Package xemacs needs libRKC.so.1.2, this is not available.
Package xemacs needs libcanna.so.1.2, this is not available.
Package ethereal needs libpcap.so.0.8.1, this is not available.
Package ethereal-gnome needs libpcap.so.0.8.1, this is not available.
Not sure if this is a mirror-sync problem or goes back to the source.
Had a lot more similar errors before a major update this morning.
I'm using mirror.hiwaay.net - anyone else seeing similar problems.

Re: FC2test1: XFree86
by nyook
Hello list
Since a few days, I can't update many of the kde and qt packages (in
fact everything gui related) because the dependency resolving shows an
error that XFree86 requires some libx. I thought that everything which
is required for these FC2test updates is located in rawhide?
Can it be that I may have unintentionally/accidentally updated something
XFree86-related from another repository which is icompatible to
FC2test1? (I sometimes use apt-get with the freshrpms repository
enabled, but for regular updates I use up2date with rawhide)
Thanks.

Strange Mozilla behaviour.
by Reg Clemens
Ive noticed a couple of mail messages (EXMH mail reader) that have a line
saying
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
in them that print VERY strangely. The Headers are ok, but the text of the
mesage has a leter, folloed by a 'box' followed by a letter ... The text
is there, but just about unreadable. Going back to the folder with the
message in it and catting it, its just fine.
Anyone else seeing this?
Is it a problem with EXMH or a problem with a Font in Fc2t1 ?

kernel panick 2.6.4-1.303
by Michael A. Peters
kernel-2.6.4-1.303 panic's my box before mounting root filesystem.
Something about memory.
kernel-2.6.4-1.300 boots just dandy.
Since root hasn't mounted when panic occurs, there really no info I can
get as nothing has been logged - but this is the _first_ kernel panic
I've had in Linux since 2.2 days.

Missing from yum, All y'all have it backwards.
by John Thacker
Several people seem to be confused when they get error messages like
this from yum:
Package ethereal needs libpcap.so.0.8.1
Package ethereal-gnome needs libpcap.so.0.8.1
Package transcode needs libdv.so.2
Package libquicktime needs libdv.so.2
Package mjpegtools needs libdv.so.2
Package dvgrab needs libdv.so.2
Package pwlib needs libdv.so.2
Package xemacs needs libRKC.so.1.2
Package xemacs needs libcanna.so.1.2
This does NOT mean that libpcap, libdv, and Canna-libs are missing.
Rather, the situation is quite the reverse. Generally this error
happens when the package that provided libpcap.so.0.8.1 , libdv.so.2 ,
and so on (the libpcap, libdv, and Canna-libs pacakges in this case)
have updated, and packages which depended on the old version of the
libraries no long have satisfied dependencies.
What needs to happen is that the packages on the left-- ethereal,
dvgrab, pwlib, xemacs, etc. need to be rebuilt against the new
versions of the libraries. One way to do that is to remove the
offending packages, update the libraries, and then grab and rebuild
the SRPMs of the offending packages.
For the packages which are distributed with FC, there will generally
be updated packages rebuilt in a couple of days.
For some reason, the text of the error message seems to confuse a lot
of people, and they think that the problem is that libdv, libpcap,
etc. are missing. What's happened is that libdv now supplies
libdv.so.4 , for example, so the other packages need to be rebuilt against
the new version.
It's NOT a mirror error, it's NOT a problem with the new packages.

selinux bug or my bug?
by Anthony Joseph Seward
When I want to do upgrades or installs from a machine that already has
an RPM based distro on it, I install an RPM that I make that lets me
start from GRUB or LILO (as an aside, this should get around the disc1
won't boot problem that people are having). When I install the RPM on a
system that already has test2 installed with selinux enabled, I get the
following error:
[root@mza samba]# rpm -Uvh /nfs/u3/mirrors/installers/FC2-test2-i386/rpms/FC2-test2-installer-2.0-1.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:FC2-test2-installer ########################################### [100%]
error: setexeccon(root:staff_r:rpm_script_t) fails from context "root:staff_r:staff_t": Invalid argument
error: %post(FC2-test2-installer-2.0-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
Is this an error in selinx or in my %post script? I've attached the .spec file.
