 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

can anybody help me to solve my problem?

You should install the libsilc first.

PLZ help me

GrapefruiTgirl · 11-08-2010, 06:14 AM

Is that an error, or just a warning? You may get around it (possibly) by importing the GPG key associated with that RPM:

Code:

shell# gpg --recv-keys 37017186

And then try that RPM command again. (Note I don't use RPM, so I am assuming you are trying to install that RPM, though it appears to be a source RPM; if not trying to install, please excuse me

)

I did this command but I still have problem
are there any command that install every dependency from internet?

As long as you are not registered to RHN, you will not be able to download updates or dependancies for software you install.
In order to save yourself wasted time and/or hassle you should rather get yourself a license for RH5 or install Centos5 which is equally good for learning Redhat.

hi again
I changed my OS to centOS5.and i do "yum install pidgin" this time it shows this error

`yum clean all` and try it again some other time. Another way is manually download it or disable pidgin.repo and install from updates.repo with older version.

baranmatin · 11-17-2010, 01:12 PM

i think it is because of my country .because every thing are filter.i shoul try to use vpn and after that try again.

chickenjoy · 12-12-2010, 05:48 AM

this all I did to make it work:

Code:

# cp pidgin.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
# rpm --import http://rpm.pidgin.im/RPM-GPG-KEY-pidgin
# yum -y install pidgin

Code:

Complete!

just keep on trying if you get the 'no more mirrors' error. I got it on my 2nd try.
