so how do i resolve this dependency problem......

plz help..

thanks in advance.

You seem to be missing libass.so.3. It should be in a package called something like libass3. Interesting name for a package.
jdk

how can i install this package through yum

Actually quite easy

# yum install libass

if the "Fedora 10 - i386 - Updates" repo is enabled.
> Menu , System > Add Remove Software > System > "Software Sources
... and tick 'Fedora 10 ... Updates' to enable it.

$ yum repolist
Good luck !
.....
P.S. : Very peculiar : There are 6,500 packages in 'update',
a lot of those are not in the "normal" '10,000 packages' repo.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...dates/10/i386/
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...6/os/Packages/
.....

whenever i try to do this it says ¨no results found...try entering a package name in the search bar¨

fortunately it is included:

this is the output of:

# yum install libass
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package libass available.
Nothing to do

1) I can't see, you have a line saying :
"updates______Fedora 10 - i386 - Updates______enabled"

2) $ means : please do the command as user, not root.
Makes it simpler : yum repolist .

3) I don't understand why you can't enable 'update'
in "Add Remove Software", should be very easy.

4) You have the updates link in post # 4, so you also
have the choice to download the package, if you can't
configure the repo's.
.....
.....
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
The enabled part is shown ....
'enabled=1' means enabled, 'enabled=0' means disabled.
The file is attached as fedora-updates.repo.txt
The whole file may be missing on your system ? ?
.....

Attached Files

fedora-updates.repo.txt (1.1 KB, 12 views)

ok so this is it.

can you please tell me the way out to enable the updates....
all the time i try to see the package list by using a filter(say ¨Multimedia¨) it says ¨no results found.¨

Solution : Click the file 'fedora-updates.repo.txt'
in post # 7, download it, rename to fedora-updates.repo ,
and copy it to /etc/yum.repos.d/ , ( if it is missing ).

I don't know, what you are doing with "filters",
that may be the issue. ( I never use that function.)

So try without "filters" , please.
.....

thanks i´ĺl try it.

is present in the dir:

i don´t need it anyway.
the problem is, the update is not enabled.

can you please tell me how to enable it......

Please read post # 7 again :

'enabled=1' means enabled, 'enabled=0' means disabled.
.....
Or change it in 'Add Remove Software"
MENU, System > Add Remove Software > MENU → System > "Software Sources"
... and tick 'Fedora 10 ... Updates' to enable it.

i think i told you about this problem in post #5(please refer to the post).

can you tell me how to enable it using a command-line(i do not have a choice otherwise.)

1) Command line
1a) su
2) gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
... and change 0 to 1 , line 6 .

.....
Enabling in "Add Remove Software" : see the pictures, attached

Hello,

I have the same problem ( I'm using fedora 10) , I enabled the repo, but still the same:
yum install vlc
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Another detail maybe is helpfull

locate libass.so
/usr/lib/libass.so.4
/usr/lib/libass.so.4.0.0
