Yum update and nvidia driver install give missing dependencies
 
Hi all,

I got stuck with some problems with yum updates. I got two problems which seen to be related.

First. I added JPackage repos to yum repos.d. Now when I update (just yum update) then it tags some package to be updated, but then actually fails on a missing dependency to lucene package. The following is the yum update output:

When I do a yum list installed and grep on lucene then I see>:

Code:
lucene.i386                              1.4.3-1jpp.14          installed     
lucene-devel.i386                        1.4.3-1jpp.14          installed
So, both packages seem to be present and yum still complains...

Also, when I install the xorg.nvidia drivers from livna, I get a similar problem. I install the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.i386 package.

The install output is:

Which all seems fine.

Does anyone have any idea how to resolve these problems and if they are even related.

Thanks!

Seems you have more then one problem, but first start with the first problem.

It seems that you are hit by a old Fedora Core 6 bug, which is that the installer (Anaconda) sometimes selects the i586 kernel when it actual had to select the i686 kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F...3822f143Script

Open this website find script. Download it to your hard drive and run it as root(sh kernel-fix.sh)

Thanks... but is it really that bug?

When I uname I run the i686 kernel. It just has also installed the i586 kernel (which might have been caused by that bug)

Code:
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 #1 SMP Fri Apr 27 18:53:15 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Could you explain why you think it's related to this bug?

Thanks!

Take the advice given it is a well known documented bug of the install of the i586 kernel.

BasV 05-04-2007 04:52 AM
Oki, it did fix the problem with the nvidia driver update. Thanks very much for that!

It didn't solve the problem with the JPackage update. I'll try to post the question in the JPackage newsgroup.

Thanks, happy it works
