I have yet another Yum missing dependency issue for a fairly newly installed Red Hat EL 5 WS install. I have been working with Red Hat support for over a month with no success. Here is the tail end of the yum update:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
db4-devel-4.3.29-9.fc6.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: db4 = 4.3.29-9.fc6 is needed by package db4-devel-4.3.29-9.fc6.i386 (installed)
sqlite-devel-3.3.6-2.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: sqlite = 3.3.6-2 is needed by package sqlite-devel-3.3.6-2.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: sqlite = 3.3.6-2 is needed by package sqlite-devel-3.3.6-2.i386 (installed)
Er

Given this is a new install with no special packages added, I just want to go back to plain old vanilla updates. I've tried purging the cache with no success. Any ideas on how to reset this?

Umm,

Remove the Fedora 6 repo from /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum.d/wherever, then:

# rpm -e sqlite-devel
# rpm -e db4-devel
# yum install sqlite-devel db4-devel
# yum update

Thanks for your reply.

I added a rpm -e for rpm-dev on which the sql-lite-dev package depended. After executing the rest of the commands, I got the same error. Given I am not using either of those packages, I removed them, and updated.

That was successful. Again, thank you for your reply.
