fedora 8 upgrade remove java question
Can anyone help me with this. I tried to upgrade to Fedora 8. It made it all the way threw checking dependances then it hung. From what I am reading I think it is a JAVA problem I went to Fedora 7 add/remove software to remove JAVA it wanted to remove a ton of packages. Is there a way to remove JAVA with out removing all these packages. (openoffice etc.) Also does anybody know if flash player is a no no for fedora 8 as well.

You could use the --nodeps option with rpm -e. Another way would be to let yum uninstall java and openoffice and then you can reinstall them later.

I want to remove java I am trying to do that without removing any other programs. Can you elaborate a on your yum uninstall, nodeps, or other options. I need some guidance please I am new to this what is the bash commands. Please
Thank you |
You could make a note of which packages it wants to remove that you still want, then reinstall them after removing java using yum.
Also here is a link talking about using yum to uninstall/reinstall if there are dependency issuies (toward the bottom of the page) http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/SOUR....5/index.shtml Also skim down to "JDK 1.5 from Sun on Fedora Core 5" on the following web page: http://boldoo.blog.com/2007/5/ http://forum.fedoraforum.org/forum/s...=177770&page=1 Also consider posting to http://www.fedoraforum.org/ |
