When running as root "yum update" numerous "dependencies errors" exist.
What is command to have Yum automatically download all dependencies so all updates will occur?

Using RHEL 5 workstation with Multi-OS.

Here are the errors:

Thanks :-)

Looks like something is screwy with yum - what you are asking is exactly what it should do.

As a test, can you please post the output of

yum list installed | grep hal

[root@spygate ~]# yum list installed | grep hal
hal.i386 0.5.8.1-19.el5 installed
hal-cups-utils.i386 0.6.2-5 installed
hal-devel.i386 0.5.8.1-19.el5 installed
hal-gnome.i386 0.5.8.1-19.el5 installed
[root@spygate ~]#

Ok, looks like there is an update available for (in this example) ha, but not hal-devel.

First, can you clean things up a bit with

yum clean all

and

yum clean dbcache

Then try yum update again, but can you post the earlier messages as to what it's trying to update.

Have you changed repos at all lately? What repos are enables (see /etc/yum.repos.d)

mirrors-rpmforge rhel-debuginfo.repo rpmforge.repo

I did the yum clean & other as above.

I ran Yum Update again. Some things started to work but ran into problem again.

It doesn't look to me like you have enough repos - I'd expect at least a base repo of some kind.


Have you registered with RedHat network?

I can't tell you exactly what repos there should be for RHEL, as I use CentOS

Yes. I have an account there. When I log in, I see Errata packages under my account.
