Today's dependency problems

Thu Apr 1 16:58:12 UTC 2004

Correction, the headers today specify libpcap-0.8.3-2 (not 0.8.2-2).

I noticed that as of this morning (4/1/04) that the only problem was
with libpcap and ethereal.  All the other problems (like you said)
appear to be fixed.

The libpcap in the headers shows 0.8.2-2, but 0.8.2-1 was still on the
mirror when I tried.  When there are problems like that, I usually just
wait and they eventually work out.

I use yum instead of up2date, but usually if one breaks the other breaks
too, I've noticed.  Yum still works for me, but:

[root at sol cgi-bin]# up2date -l

Also, RPM didn't give me the problems listed by someone else either:

It works now without excluding gimp or libdv, but when I did it only,
the duke mirror was up to date. But maybe be careful. It also updated
rpm and up2date doesn't work anymore so don't update rpm.
