Hi, why am i getting this error:

error: Failed dependencies:
apr-util(x86-64) = 1.5.3-1cnt6 is needed by apr-util-devel-1.5.3-1cnt6.x86_64
apr-util = 1.3.9-3.el6_0.1 is needed by (installed) apr-util-ldap-1.3.9-3.el6_0.1.x86_64

But when i try to install the missing component, it shows Package apr-util-1.3.9-3.el6_0.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do?

This is presumably RHEL6 or CentOS6 or another variant based on RHEL6 based on the "el6" in the package name. I'm assuming you did this with yum.

The problem is that when you try to update one package it is likely trying to update another package as a dependency. However, it is telling you it can't change that dependency because yet another installed package has the same dependency but that other package and its dependency are different versions than the ones you're trying to install.

You could try running "yum update apr-util apr-util-devel apr-util-ldap" so it updates all the packages involved in your message. If it still fails you'd need to do "yum remove apr-util-ldap" then do the "yum update" on the other packages then "yum install apr-util-ldap" to reinstall the one you removed which should install one dependent on the versions of the other packages.

Try to install apr-devel and apr-util-devel packages on your server.

Mind to share how on the detail steps?

Type 'yum install apr-devel'.
