Missing dependancy when trying to install from freshrpms.

Zombie13 · 02-25-2008, 08:49 AM

I've just installed FC8 on my machine, and need to install "dvdrip". I've added, but disabled both the Livna and FreshRPMs repos. When I do "yum install --enablerepo=freshrpms dvdrip", I get the following...

Code:

freshrpms                 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB    00:00

Can anyone help me to resolve this?

You'll need to enable either Freshrpms or Livna because the RPM is in those. FWIW (I never use it myself) Livna seems more often associated with all sorts of package breakage compared to Freshrpms. YMMV(VM).

Thanks for the quick reply, but FreshRPMs is enabled for just this particular install (by "--enablerepo=freshrpms"). I've also tried "enabled=1" in the "/etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo" file.

Same thing happens every time.

Using both freshrpms and livna, that's asking for trouble. Any Fedora install guide should tell so. The reason is that they contain conflicting versions of packages. Once you start mixing packages from both repos, there is no knowing where it will lead. In some cases, only a reinstall will help. This is one of the most annoying features of Fedora but, fortunately, they have finally understood that it's unacceptable and all repositories are being merged into a single one for the next release.
Even if you enable livna or fresrpms only occasionally, there is no guarantee that it won't overwrite a package from the other repository. You should at least install yum-protect-base to prevent this from affecting the most essential packages.
However, if you're lucky, it's just a matter of updates having gotten out of sync. That does happen from time to time: one package receives an update but an update to its dependencies follows only a few days later. Other than waiting, you can go to the development repos and verify whether the updated dependencies aren't available from there yet.

I have read that it's a bad idea to mix both Livna and FreshRPMs. I only have Livna for the nVidia driver, as that's what the install guide I use for a Fedora recommends - I don't install anything else from Livna.

So my FC8 install is completely useless? I've been a fan of Fedora for a few years, but I'm seriously getting fed up with problems like this.

Don't worry, if you haven't consistently been mixing both repos as you say, then it's maybe not that bad at all. As I suggested, it may simply be a matter of one of the dependencies not having received an update yet. Just wait for it to be made available or go hunting for it. It may be available from the livna of Fedora development repos. If not, you'll need to have patience. Once all the dependencies are in place, it will install just fine.

Patience? here it is 03-25-2008 and still no x264 anything. Any Ideas besides livna and freshrpms? Maybe soon it will come.

Thanks

Well, livna does have x264:

and it is working fine for me and no doubt for many others. You didn't mix livna and freshrpms? That is suicide, really. Packages from livna need to get their dependencies from livna - slip in a stray one from another third party and bam there you go, lots of dependency fun. Never mix. The packages are 95% identical anyway, only they are differently packaged.

Edit: I did some checks, it really appears to be a freshrpms thing. And they are having the very same issue with libx264.so.58... My suggestion is "easy": purge your system of all freshrpms packages and use livna only.
