FC5 yum update issue

[Jim Duda]

I'm trying to update dbus.

yum update dbus

I get these errors:

Error: Missing Dependency: libdbus-1.so.2 is needed by package notify-daemon
Error: initscripts conflicts with xorg-x11
Error: Missing Dependency: libneon.so.24 is needed by package librpm4.4

Package notify-daemon is not installed.

rpm -e notify-daemon

Why does yum think that libneon.so.24 is not installed?
Why does yum complain about libdbus upgrade when I'm trying to upgrade 
libdbus to the newer version?

rpm -qf /usr/lib/libneon.so.24.0.7 will tell you if it came from an RPM
or not.

Have you done a plain 'yum update' first ?

[Jim Duda]

# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libneon.so.24.0.7
neon-0.24.7-6
#

A yum update fails do to six other dependency errors.  I'm trying to do 
smaller chunks.

This is a yum update from FC4 to FC5.

I have a few other similarities where yum appears confused.

I've tried rpm --rebuilddb too.

The way I've done this in the past is to manual (rpm --nodeps --force)
update fedora-release, change the repo. URLs, and then do a yum update
for the  kernel, then glibc (if not in kernel), then just plain 'yum
update'.

So you are actually trying a yum upgrade from FC4 to FC5.

That is not supported nor recommended for a reason.

A clean install would work better.
