yum update - error. dependency
 

hi, ive just installed fedora core 6, got sound/video working etc. but i have a problem everytime i go to update via yum. it comes out with the following error:

after lots of dependancys that worked i get this:

--> Processing Dependency: geronimo-specs = 1.0-0.M2.2jpp.12 for package: geronimo-specs-compat
--> Processing Dependency: lucene = 0:1.4.3-1jpp.14 for package: lucene-devel
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: geronimo-specs = 1.0-0.M2.2jpp.12 is needed by package geronimo-specs-compat
Error: Missing Dependency: lucene = 0:1.4.3-1jpp.14 is needed by package lucene-devel


any idears would be great thanks.

Ordinarily yum will resolve dependancies and install the right packages but what you're getting means that the required package isn't available in any repository you have configured. You will have to Google for that package and install it manually, before trying youre yum manually.

ok thanks for that.

One way around those deps would be to install yumex and deselect the offending packages. Then proceede with the update. That is unless you need lucene and geronimo-specs.
