CentOS 5.2 mplayer liblzo.so.1 will not update

walterbyrd · 10-07-2008, 07:40 PM

I am using gnome. I keep getting a message that lzo needs to be updated. So I click "Apply" but I always get a message "Error resolving dependencies."

I click the "Details" button and get "Missing Dependency: liblzo.so.1 is needed by package mplayer"

But, when I try to install that, I get the message that it is already installed.

I tried "yum install mplayer" but I just got a "nothing to do" message.

I am not sure what you are trying to update here. But anyhow, try this
yum install lzo
and maybe a
yum install lzo-devel

Thanks, but it still does not work.

I've seen this happened before. What probably happened was that a package (probably mplayer) was updated but one of it's dependency has not been added to the repos. You can either wait a few days until all the repos are updated, or do a "yum clean dbcache" to clean the database and force yum to look for new mirrors.

Hope this helps!

It was a 1-day issue caused by Dag. He fixed it and the proper package was re-uploaded the next day. yum upgrade again and it will be fixed.

I had a similar problem Centos 5.3 due to lzo and lzo-devel being installed from a different repo. To fix

yum clean all
yum remove lzo lzo-devel

then install the package or update as necessary.
