Hi all, I am new to Red Hat. I have problem with yum missing dependency error when I tried to update or install rpm. Below are short sample of it:

Error: Missing Dependency: rpm = 4.4.2.3-18.el5 is needed by package rpm-devel-4.4.2.3-18.el5.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: gnome-vfs2 = 2.16.2-6.el5 is needed by package gnome-vfs2-devel-2.16.2-6.el5.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: libtiff = 3.8.2-7.el5_3.4 is needed by package libtiff-devel-3.8.2-7.el5_3.4.x86_64 (installed)

I tried to find the solution in internets and forums,such as yum clear all, but nothing works.

Here are the results of my repolist:

# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
repo id repo name status
adobe-linux-i386 Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled: 18
rhel-x86_64-client-5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 for 6 enabled: 7,430
repolist: 7,448

Please help me with this problem, I thank you in advance first

The first message says that you want a new version of rpm, yet the current
version of rpm-devel needs the current version of rpm. There are two ways
to fix this. One is to also upgrade the rpm-devel package, and the other
is to remove the rpm-devel package.

It seems odd to me that your repo has newer versions of these packages, but
not the newer versions of the devel packages. Try "yum clean all" to reset
yum, then try again. If this doesn't work, you could contact Red Hat support.

hi Carltm, thank you for the reply. I have tried yum clean all, but it doesn't work for me Below are the errors, very long..

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

You might want to contact Red Hat. I just noticed something unusual
in your repo description "rhel-x86_64-client-5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Desktop (v. 5 for 6 enabled: 7,430". The "v. 5 for 6" is what catches
my eye. Is it possible that it's trying to upgrade to the version 6
beta? Since I don't use RH workstation I don't know what string to
expect to see.

Yeah, I am not sure about it either. I'll try to contact Red Hat. Thank you for your time, appreciate it

I'm having almost the exact same error. Was a solution ever found?

Nah, too bad. No response from Red Hat. Guess because I only subscribe basic subscription. Some people suggest to find all the needed package manually over the internet. But I am too lazy to do it..
