Error: Missing Dependency: kdelibs3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package koffice-libs

Hi, I have fedora 7 when i run yum upgrade i got:

Error: Missing Dependency: kdelibs3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package koffice-libs

i have kdelibs3-3.5.7, from fedora web site i found that kdelibs-3.5.8 is under the test folder.
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/Linux/INSTA...testing/7/i386/

i was trying to upgrade to fedora 8, from fedora 8 DVD, but the upgrade always hanged with the first check for Dependency packages.

so i think kdelibs3 is causing that.

any idea ?

thanks

To upgrade using yum one first update yum and the fedora-release rpm packages;

yum update yum fedora-release

Then try: yum update

Try breaking the update down somewhat, update kde first after removing the older koffice packages.

Get the list of install koffice packages; rpm -qa 'koffice*''
Remove them: rpm -e koffice-libs <the rest from the list>

Update kde: yum update kdebase3 kdelibs3
Then install the newer koffice packages: yum install koffice-libs <the rest from the list>

The problem is Fedora did some package renaming with Fedora 8(kdelibs became kedlibs3 and so on).

Hi, today fedora release 24 update, one of them was for koffice which solve the issue.

but after the upgrade to fedora 8 some of the programs corrupt like mplayer. really strange.
