Hello,
I'm stuck and looking for some help getting unstuck.
I'm on EL5 x86_64.
Here's my output:

# yum install vlc
Loaded plugins: keys, protect-packages, protectbase, rhnplugin, security
.
.
.
0 packages excluded due to repository protections

Resolving Dependencies
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.

# rpm -q --provides libdvdread
libdvdread.so.3()(64bit)
libdvdread = 0.9.7-1.el5.rf
==========================================
I thought if libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) appears with the last request, then it should be available for the vlc install? Obviously I'm missing something.

# rpm -qa '*libdvd*'
libdvdcss-1.2.10-1.el5.rf
libdvdread-0.9.7-1.el5.rf


# ls /usr/lib64/libdvd*
/usr/lib64/libdvdcss.so.2 /usr/lib64/libdvdread.so.3 /usr/lib64/libdvdread.so.3.2.1
/usr/lib64/libdvdcss.so.2.1.0 /usr/lib64/libdvdread.so.3.0.0


Over the past week (!) of install/uninstall I was able to get rid of two similar messages for other libraries.

Google searches have provided some things I've tried, but still don't work, which is also annoying me, but less so.
For instance yum-complete-transaction gives me
Command not found.
Even though, # yum install yum-utils
Loaded plugins: keys, protect-packages, protectbase, rhnplugin, security
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Setting up Install Process
Package yum-utils-1.1.16-13.el5.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
# yum clean all
-- works fine
# yum makecache
-- appeared as a solution for someone. It did something, but didn't get rid of the complaint about unfinished transactions.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reading this far,
YB

So if you want the command /usr/sbin/yum-complete-transaction
,,, then

# yum install yum-utils

About vlc for Redhat EL ...

.....
Please edit /etc/yum.conf
keepcache=0
to
keepcache=1
.. in order to keep the yum downloaded packages in
/var/cache/yum/<repo>/packages
( /var/cache/yum/rpmforge/packages )
.. and may be you have to manually install one or more
packages, where you are absolute sure, it's the right
version, ... with the command ...
# rpm -Uvh --nodeps <package>
.. to circumvent problems in the yum dependency mechanism.
.....

knowing to put /usr/sbin before yum-complete-transaction was just what I needed.
I ran:
/usr/sbin/yum-complete-transaction

over and over, cleaning and uninstalling and installing until that problem is gone and resolved.

Now, my main question still remains:

My error is that I'm missing libdvdread.so.3()(64bit)

But I have libdvdread.so.3()(64bit)

SO, what is the next step?


Here' what the output is:


Error: Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) is needed by package vlc-0.9.9a-4.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge)



# rpm -q --provides libdvdread

libdvdread.so.3()(64bit)

libdvdread = 0.9.7-1.el5.rf



# rpm -qa '*libdvd*'

libdvdcss-1.2.10-1.el5.rf

libdvdread-0.9.7-1.el5.rf


THANKS!

*
1) su
2) rpm -Uvh --nodeps vlc-0.9.9a-4.el5.rf.x86_64...

.. may work as the final trick.

I went with

yum --disablerepo='epel' install vlc

and it worked!

Thank you knudfl for answering my posts!

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue I think is similar to this one. I already have vlc installed. Lately, I've been getting a transaction error message with the following details:

I checked and I have most of those dependencies in my /usr/lib directory. I don't understand why I still get that message. I installed opencv-1.0.0-15.fc11.src.rpm, openssl-0.9.8k-5.fc11.i586.rpm, openssl-0.9.8k-5.fc11.i686.rpm after doing a google search for those dependencies before realizing I had them already. Please help.

My system Info:
DELL GX270
Fedora 11
Kernel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i686.PAE
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80Ghz

Hi,

Just got a 'Dependency resolution failed' error message during a system software update. It's the same dependencies as in my previous post. I'm new to Linux and would really appreciate your help. Thanks.
