You’re evil allright, but just not evil enough to get the highest result on this test. You may kinda consider yourself to be the coca-cola light of evil.
Not a bad result, but that backstabbing knife could be sharper.

fedora yum upgrade problem

Post author By Francesco Fullone
Post date 05/04/2004

copio/incollo dal forum di LinuxQuestions.org:

I’m running a recent install of Fedore Core 2 Test 1 (Would have done Core 1, but doesn’t support all my hardware). Whenever I try to use up2date, many programs get the following error at the “Testing package set / Solving RPM inter-dependencies” screen:
{
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
XFree86-4.3.0-45.0.1 requires XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-45.0.1
XFree86-twm-4.3.0-45.0.1 requires XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-45.0.1
XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-45.0.1 requires XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-45.0.1

Please modify your package selections and try again.
}

You have slightly misunderstood what is happening. The header.info that is being downloaded is specifying that the xorg-x11 packages should be installed since then obselete XFree86 packages. The new packages are not created incorrectly, it is actually the old ones (which you have installed already) that caused these issues by having improper dependencies.

To correct this you need to upgrade to the xorg-x11 packages. This can be done with some clever manipulations of yum –exclude=package options, or you can download all the xorg-x11 packages from the mirror and install them. This has been discussed at length on the test mailing lists, so if you need further info (or I make no sense at all) search them here:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list

Mike Harris is the maintainer for X at Red Hat, so his posts are of course the ‘authoritative’ source.

The update method I required when doing this was:
# first to update everything that did not require xorg changes…
yum –exclude=chkfontpath –exclude=anaconda –exclude=gdm \
–exclude=kdebase –exclude=xorg* update

# then update xorg which removes and replaces all of XFree86
yum install xorg*

If you have individual package problems with any of these commands you can add them to –exclude= options, or remove the package from your system temporarily.

php::Links(‘ php 4.3.6RC1 ‘);

a neanche una settimana dal rilascio della precedente versione il php-qa team ha rilasciato la versione 4.3.6RC1:

PHP 4.3.6RC1 released!

[02-Apr-2004] In the spirit of release early, release often here is the first and hopefully the final release candidate of PHP 4.3.6. This release addresses 2 major bugs introduced in the 4.3.5 release. One of these bugs caused problems when loading dynamic extensions on Windows and thread-safe (ZTS) builds and the other involves incorrect handling of daylight savings time. A few other minor bugs were fixed as well.

mentre aspetto l’invito su navigazioniquotidiane (uomonero? sei vivo?) colgo l’occasione per citare “se me lo dicevi prima” blog appena scoperto ma molto interessante che, tra l’altro, sfrutta al suo interno lo scambio di link messo a disposizione da spurl.

intanto noto (con piacere) che la alcuni dei blog che leggo quotidianamente iniziano a crosslinkarsi abbastanza esplicitamente (uomonero, futa, il fiore del cactus).

alla fine…. ho vinto!

dopo 3 giorni di sclero, sbattimenti di testa, ricompilazioni e download da server lenti come la morte ho finalmente aggiornato gnome alla versione 2.6 in fedora core 1! il prossimo passo? passare ad openoffice 1.1.1 con le icone per bluecurve! per ora posso anche andare a dormire felice! :)
