Yum and xmms problem

[Pedro Fernandes Macedo]

Today I tried to update all my FC machines and on all of them I had the 
same problem:

yum update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: DCC Yum Repository - 1 - i386 - core
Server: DCC Yum Repository - 1 - i386 - testing
Server: DCC Yum Repository - 1 - i386 - updates
Server: Fedora Linux 1 - i386 - freshrpms
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
....identical dependency loop exceeded
package xmms-mp3 needs xmms = 1:1.2.8 (not provided)

The three first repositories are local repos I made by using rsync on 
one of the official mirrors. I tried adding livna.org also , but it 
didnt help either...
Right now I have these packages:
xmms-mp3-1.2.8-3.2.fr
xmms-1.2.8-3.p
xmms-skins-1.2.8-3.p

Is there a way to fix this? It looks like it's trying to install xmms 
1.2.9 from the testing repository.. Is there a way to configure yum so 
it doesnt tries to update xmms?

You can configure /etc/yum.conf to ignore xmms and its related items with:

exclude=xmms*

Get the xmms-mp3-1.2.9 from freshrpms:
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/testing/1/xmms/xmms-mp3-...

You could use "exclude" in the yum.conf. man yum.conf

Did you do a yum-arch on the directories in your local repository?

If you did, post your yum.conf file, so we might be able to see the problem.

No , I didnt.. I'm doing a rsync of everything , except development , 
isos and x86_64 ... My repository tree has all the headers that the main 
mirrors have...
Is it necessary to run yum-arch , even when I'm in sync with the main 
mirrors (including headers)? I didnt do this yet and it worked for 
almost two weeks...

Resolving dependencies
....identical dependency loop exceeded
package xmms-mp3 needs xmms = 1:1.2.9 (not provided)

Slightly different here.

[Joel Jaeggli]

so remove the third party package and the problem will go away...

either that or add a yum repository that contains the new one... the 
freshrpms.net one does...

Dont know why yum didnt want to install xmms-1.2.9... I've downloaded 
the rpms and installed them.. thanks guys..

I'm concerned that adding a lot of third party repositories to my 
yum.conf will lead to the fedora equivalent of "dll hell", so I'm going 
to stick to the yum.conf at the UFAQ for now.

I'm guessing the UFAQ yum.conf and/or the livna package requirements are 
ginked up somehow.

If this is the case, it will stabilize sooner or later.

Thanks,
John
