yum dependency loop exceeded

[Michael Griffis]

Hi All,

I am getting an "identical dependency loop exceeded" error while trying
to install totem/xine/mplayer.

I've added the livna-stable sources to /etc/yum.conf however when I run
try to install totem, xine or mplayer I get the following message:

Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
......identical dependency loop exceeded
package xine-lib needs libFLAC.so.4 (not provided)
package xine-lib needs libaa.so.1 (not provided)
package xine-lib needs libspeex.so.1 (not provided)

Has anyone had the same issue?  Any suggestions for resolving?

thanks,

Michael

Had the same problem, all I did is go to http://rpmfind.org and grab the 
rpms and installed them works great...............

Quote `rpm.livna.org':

"RPM.Livna.org is not a standalone repository
   You must use rpm.livna.org with Fedora.us repository

http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO
     http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraSources

Do not ask for help about missing libaa/libFLAC/liblzo/libdv/...  
   dependencies. Configure your apt/yum/up2date to use the corresponding
   stable/testing/unstable repositories from fedora.us which you use
   from rpm.livna.org and it'll work."

This may seem like a dumb question but what is yum?

[mrada]

So are you saying we have new files to replace the current release already?

Yum is an install manager program works on the command line and, is a 
little like
apt-get but I think it's better, it solve your dependency issues 
downloads the right
rpms etc.
it's totally yummy :-D

VNC and KDE

[Lox Thomson]

I kick myself for loosing the past post that described this.

I have a Fedora Core 1 server that I didn't install the VNC with the software.  
Got the binaries from the VNC site, still version 3.  Installed it, 
everything seems right.  But one thing I did not do was install TWM.  No 
need; would much rather have KDE running.  So I find that the 
/$HOME/.vnc/xstartup command that runs, references twm on the last line:

#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &

Really want to run KDE.  What should I do?  There is some file that I make a 
minor change to and it will work.  Can you please resend that pearl of 
wisdom?

Why not use the VNC 4 beta4 version that comes with Fedora?

It's much easier of you use the VNC that Fedora ships (it's already in
xstartup, just commented out).  But, if you insist:

Comment out "twm &" and add "startkde &" on another line. Or just change
the line.
