[Jörn Rink]

Hi,
i have Problems with yum update. It updates nothing since
yesterday, it cannot resolve dependencies of the nfs-utils package.

Here is the error message:

---> Package nfs-utils.i386 0:1.0.8.rc2-5.FC5 set to be updated

before i delete thenfs-utils package, to update all other packages.

After creating the link, all errors are gone.

My system is a core 5 fresh install updated with yum.

I have the same problem on both of my systems.

If you use the graphical pup (software updater), it is pretty easy to
uncheck the problematic packages, so that the update (sans those two
packages) will actually complete.

Actually the problem seems more difficult, in my case at least.
"yum update" is still looking for packages required by nfs-utils,
even though it is not looking for nfs-utils itself.
Does anyone understand this?

I should say that this doesn't worry me in the least -
I am perfectly happy to wait until nfs-utils is sorted out.
But I am puzzled as to why yum is looking for packages
required by nfs-utils, but not for nfs-utils itself.

The problem is that it it trying to update nfs-utils-lib and libgssapi
but not updating nfs-utils to match due to a naming/dependency error on
the repo.  Yum does not see the nfs-utils package as being newer so it
ignores the new package.

The version of nfs-utils already installed on your system was linked
against libgssapi.so.1

Yum is proposing to update libgssapi to a version containing
libgssapi.so.2, but can't do that because it would break your existing
nfs-utils.

There is a later version of nfs-utils in the updates repository that is
built against libgssapi.so.2 and which would solve the problem, but due
to a package naming error, it appears to yum and rpm as being older than
the one you already have installed, and so yum doesn't consider using
it.

The problem has been fixed by releasing an nfs-utils update that appears
"newer" to yum and rpm than any previous release.

For me, the issue seems to be solved with the new package release.
