Clean install of FC5 x86 64bit. Can't do a yum update because "libecal-1.2.so.3()(64bit)" dependency is missing.
Surely I'm not the only person on the planet using the 64bit version of FC5! Because looks broken straight out of the box to me.
Missing Dependency: libecal-1.2.so.3()(64bit) is needed by package evolution-webcal
Missing Dependency: libecal-1.2.so.3()(64bit) is needed by package evolution
Missing Dependency: libecal-1.2.so.3()(64bit) is needed by package evolution-sharp
Missing Dependency: libecal-1.2.so.3()(64bit) is needed by package gnome-panel
Appears to be part of the evolution-data-server package which will NOT update through yum, even if specified by itself. And can't remove package because half of gnome apparently needs it to function. :| Maybe 64bit KDE works...
Yeah, or for the CLI challenged "yum install yumex" first then you can deselect the evolution-data-server package from the update queue with a mouse.
Thanks for quick replies tho! Having other probs with my nForce3 AMD64 Compaq laptop (just dumped SuSE 10.1 because of them) and an update error was the last thing I wanted to see after a clean install.

You're using FC5? Why not use PUP (Package UPdater)? Superior to yumex if you ask me, similar functionality, but I can confirm that libecal is being troublesome on updating for 32-bit as well. I don't use evolution, but it appears the installed version of libecal is needed by the package gnome-panel.
I too have seen this problem.
I think we need better QA on releases.
QA is the least fun part of development but is a very necessary step.
Due to this libecal dependency error, yum fails to update anything.
When yum finds a "missing" dependency it just stops and does not update
anything. As a result all of my systems have not updated since this error
cropped up. Yeah yeah I know why allow that to happen. Well it just the way
I run my systems. I rarely have any trouble. Does anyone know where to
suggest a QA group?
