Yum failed to resolve dependency for tcl and tk

[BenMoMo]

Hi, Everyone:
I'm using Fedora 9 on an Intel core duo PC.
When installing gitk by yum today, I got this error:

1:tk-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 from updates has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: tcl = 1:8.5.1 is needed by package 1:tk-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: tcl = 1:8.5.1 is needed by package 1:tk-8.5.1-4.fc9.i386 (updates)

I think it's the update server's error, not my system's. Any one meet this before?

my guess is that the tk package is also missing from the update which spits out the dependancy cause i get the error to

Same thing happening here and I just ignored it. Just give them time to get the servers sorted out

Try

su
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update tcl  tk

This work for me !

As an aside, have you tried the GDM from updates-testing? (Although there's a newer version in Koji)

Wayne

if you wanna get the tk Package now, get it from koji ,, here's the URL http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/b...?buildID=53887

Thank you, I get gitk works now. I think if I wait for the server getting OK, the problem can be solved too.

It is weird... Does anyone have an explanation or a solution?

[glennzo]

Nothing weird about it. Just a few packages not ready for prime time. Sit back and relax. You don't need the updates this second.

Hi,
thank you glennzo for your reply.
This error is preventing me from updating my system. Is there any way to update it ignoring this errors?
I am using FC9, but since the day i installed it, i cannot update my system using the update manager, it shows me the updates available but the "Update system" doesn't work.
I have to do everything manually using Yum, the default application installer (gpk-application 0.1.12) doesn't work too, i can search for software, but when i click 'Install' nothing happens. Is this normal?
I had the same problem with FC8, i installed F9 hoping this will solve this problem... In vain...

Try the following from the command line:

yum update --exclude=tcl --exclude=tk

[glennzo]

Looks like DTParanoia has it covered.

[omaru]

Thank you DTParanoia and glennzo, i learned someting new today

You could also use Yumex as a GUI for yum it allows you to drop those pesky failed dependences packages from your update list.

Enjoy the Choice
