I'm not sure if this is the right place to be asking this question - what i'm trying to do is update my copy of evolution as i am missing several dependencies for evolution - the ones i am missing are:-

libecal-1.2.so.3
libcamel-provider-1.2.so.6
libedata-cal-1.2.so.1
libedataserver-1.2.so.4

i have read that the best way to fix my issue is to type the following which will then download the dependencies i am missing and also update my copy of evolution

yum update evolution evolution-data-server

But after i type the line i receive the error:-

Could not find update match for evolution
Could not find update match for evolution-data-server

- i am very new to Linux and have just moved away from windows so i am still finding my feet so i maybe doing something really stupid i would appreciate any help you can give me on this.


Thanks

What yum is saying is that it found that the installed evolution and evolution-data-server are already at the updated release levels. As a result, it took no further action.

What you will need to do is remove the existing software and then reinstall it. This will cause yum to go through its dependency resolution process and load the missing requisites. The steps are simply:

rpm -e --nodeps evolution evolution-data-server
yum install evolution evolution-data-server

The first command (rpm -e) removes the two software packages. I don't use the 'yum remove' command, because I want to specify the '--nodeps' option. This option will just remove the listed packages, without also removing dependencies. This would normally create a broken set of dependencies, but in this case it's OK because you are going to immediately reinstall (fullfulling the dependencies you broke).
