Hello,
I hope someone can help with this problem with Fedore Core 2.
I clicked on the update alerter (!) and the following package fails to update:

|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Package Name Version Old Version Arch Size Channel
|ppp 2.4.2.3.FC.2.1 2.4.2-2 i386 0 kB updates-released-fc2
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|Total size of selected packages to download: 0 kB

Then I get the error message:

|There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
|
|Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
|initscripts-7.53.1 requires pppd < 2.3.9
|
|Please modify your package and try again.

Is there anything I can do?

It's a global problem...everyone who has ppp installed is having the same issue. Hang in there, it will be fixed.

Here's a fix I saw on another forum. Tried it, works fine.

Download and install the updated initscripts found here;

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/sta...1.i386.rpm.html

Hello Harryc,

I'm a newbie and I have the same problem and I downloaded the file:
initscripts-7.53-10.0.aur.1.i386.rpm from the website you gave, but the
following message comes up:
udev is needed by initscripts-7.53-10.0.aur.1

When I downloaded the latest version of udev
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/util...dev-030.tar.gz
and installed it with following commands:

# tar fvxz udev-030.tar.gz
# cd udev
# make install

the following message comes up

sed -e "s:@udevdir@:/udev:" < etc/udev/udev.conf.in > etc/udev/udev.conf
/usr/bin/install -c -d /etc/udev/rules.d

/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `udev.8': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-man] Error 1

Could anyone tell me what I should do??
Thankyou!!

Try this one..assuming you are running Fedora Core 2 with an i386 kernel install.

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html

That other file you linked is for Aurox, not Fedora.

Thanks Harryc. My linux is FC2, and I downloaded the file you linked to, but
there is problem whiling installing it. the message is the following:
