[Spacewalk-list] failed dependency problem on spacewalk 0.5

[Luis Garcia]

Heya guys,

I ran into the same problem earlier this week. The only work around
I've come up was to install any pakcages with "++" in them via "rpm
-Uvh <package name>"

It's not as pretty as doing a yum update, but it gets the job done.

The only time this is an issue is when I try to update gcc and friends.
I end up having to do one big  rpm -Uhv with the following packages:

libstdc++-devel, libstdc++, cpp, gcc, libgcc, libgomp, gcc-gfortran,
and libgfortran

(Fortran?  I had no idea...)

This isn't a huge deal for me, I have a mrepo server setup on the same
box I run spacewalk on, so I can pull packages from it via http if I
have to. YMMV.

I can give more details is anyone wants to give it a shot.

Thanks,
~Luis
