On a more useful note, does anyone have any idea of exactly which
package ESR is claiming caused the complete meltdown of his system?
Is he actually claiming that "yum update <package>" on a FC6 system
caused the problems that he mentions? Or is he actually referring to
how the ItEatsBabiesAndYouWereWarned rawhide ate his babies?
This sort of bug report is not helpful as it's slim on concrete
details and leaves a murky wake of confusion. There's some good
advice on how to avoid that type of thing in these two links:
The ekiga update from today has broken dependencies.
Error: Missing Dependency: opal >= 2.2.5 is needed by package ekiga
Error: Missing Dependency: libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.4 is needed by
package ekiga
Error: Missing Dependency: pwlib >= 1.10.4 is needed by package ekiga
It looks like the opal and pwlib versions it needs are in updates-testing.
Excluding ekiga with "yum --exclude=ekiga update" allows the rest of
the packages to update. Enabling updates-testing repository with "yum
--enablerepo=updates-testing update ekiga" allows ekiga to be updated.
