installing program which bombs out with an error at 'YUM: running rpm_check_debug
 

Hi,
I'm using YUM Extender to install some software on a Toshiba Satellite P30 Laptop, running Fedora 15 and Gnome 3. I tried to remove the offending packages using Remove on Pending Action. On Apply after removal, it still tries to install the removed packages. I don't want to have to go through the whole selection procedure again for the other packages. What can I do ?

Thank you for your time

Part of my question is why didn't Yum Extender remove EMBOSS as I requested. I checked the package list after deleting, and EMBOSS was no longer on the list. I asked it to process the new list and it still tried to process EMBOSS. Why ?

If you don't need wcstools then remove it before continuing, elif you need wcstools then this conflict IMO can't be resolved without some CLI-fu. Download (as in 'yum --downloadonly') and query ('rpm -qpi /path/package|grep Reloc') the packages to see if they're relocatable. If they are both then decide which package has a higher priority for you then remove the lower priority one, elif only one of them is then that creates the decision for you ;-p Install as usual and then D/L the lower priority packages and install them using 'rpm' for example with the "--prefix" or "--relocate /usr=/usr/local --relocate /etc=/usr/local/etc" switches. Elif this isn't working for you search Fedoras bug tracker and file a report as both EMBOSS and wcstools are in the Applications/Engineering group and they should (have upstream) fix things.
