yum trouble

[Tom]

Probably not the correct solution, but when yum fails on my machine, I use
apt-get to update my system then revert back to yum.  Only reason I still
use yum is it updates kernels where apt-get does not.

Subject: yum trouble


I have a bunch of FC3 systems.  Yesterday, I attempted to patch two of them
using "yum -y update".

The one that I had installed some time ago, and have run yum -y update on
many times, worked fine.

However, the one that I reinstalled with FC3 yesterday, failed to do yum -y
update correctly both yesterday, and today.  This system is failing to patch
itself, due to a lack, real or perceived, of a ton of missing dependencies.

I tried with and without the atrpms repository configured in
/etc/yum.repos.d.  Neither worked.

The messages I'm getting look like:

Error: Missing Dependency: libFLAC++.so.2 is needed by package k3b
Error: Missing Dependency: libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9.0rc4) is needed by
package pwlib

...but this is only a small fraction of all the errors I'm getting.

rpm --rebuilddb doesn't appear to have helped matters.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Is there a fix or workaround?

Thanks!
