Hi,
I seem to be having a problem with yum updating. I can get around it by
using exclude, but would rather not.
yum reports the following packages to be updated
mod_dav_svn.i386 0:1.1.3-1
swig.i386 0:1.3.23-2
subversion.i386 0:1.1.3-1
subversion-devel.i386 0:1.1.3-1
wireless-tools.i386 1:28-0.pre4.3
It runs the transaction check and reports
libiw.so.27 needed for NetworkManager and kdenetwork
libswigpl.so.0 for subversion-perl
subversion 1.1.1-4 for subversion perl
And then falls over as these dependencies can't be met. Is there
something I can do to fix these problems?

Maybe the yum headers need some love?

Or maybe he's running FC development tree and he doesn't fully
comprehend the consquences of that decision. Holpefully he knows he's
running with the development tree enabled.

Yep. Running rawhide on the laptop and the main box at home. Works like
a charm. Have been using rawhide since RH8!

Under no circumstances should you ever ever ever say that rawhide
works like a charm in a publicly archived forum. You do a HUGE
disservice to the community and by doing so you encourage people who
are not prepared to troubleshoot potentially serious breakage to use
rawhide indescrimately and get into situations from which they are not
skilled enough in cmdline usage to effectively work their way out of.
Say it with me: 'rawhide eats babies'
The problems you are seeing with missing and conflicting dependancies
are the most trivial and most common problems associated with rawhide.
And I dare say.. that anyone who has been using rawhide on a daily
basis for a length of time long enough to cover a 2 release cycles
knows this sort of stuff happens regularly....especially during a
period between "test release phases." What you are seeing right now is
a generally expected problem.. especially when packages are under
heavy development and there is significant nightly churn in the
rawhide tree. The nightly rawhide build tree can inconsistent because
either something didn't build correctly and was thus not updated or an
explicit spec file dependancy was not updated to reflect the upgrade
of another package.
You fix this by searching for bugzilla reports against the specific
packages with dependancy problems. If there are no reports you file a
bug to make the package maintainers aware if they are not already
aware of the problem. I'm actually somewhat concerned that someone
using rawhide as long as you have needs to ask for assistance on how
to deal with such a minor and regularly occuring rawhide problem.

That's just the point though - for me, other than a couple of hiccups
when X fails or that time where something seriously screwed with the
gateway was shafted, rawhide works.
The reason I asked originally was that the box at home (also using
rawhide) doesn't fall over with that problem. When I checked though,
that was also sucking from the stable branch as well.

Rawhide eats jellybabies ;-)

Correct, I do. However, these swig problems do seem to have gone on for
a while...

Actually, this minor thing was just me being confused between a couple
of machines and remembering one of the announcements that libiw had been
backmade to a previous version for NetworkManager and kdenetwork to work.

Did you never have a problem with python?
It seemed to me that rawhide python and yum
were incompatible for a time recently.
But I'm only a rawhide user by mistake,
so I could be talking nonsense.

There was a python problem with 2.4, but it wasn't really a show stopper
and you didn't need to exclude them.
Well, it was a show stopper in my case,
as "yum update" threw up python errors,
until a new version of yum was provided which got round
what seemed to me to be bugs in python.
I'm not sure what you mean by "exclude them".
It was too late to exclude anything by the time the problem became apparent.
