Yum Update Dependency Issue libecal-1.2.so.3

***bob*** · #1 7th June 2006, 03:53 PM

EDIT: Looks like the problem's over. Yum just updated without the dependency failure. I'll leave the News item up for one more day as an alert to the fix.

We all (at least in FC-5) have had updates to Evolution and Evolution-related programs fail with a dependency issue about libecal-1.2.so.3 . This is a known glitch and a bugzilla's been filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=194174 . The fix should happen shortly, but if you want to do the rest of your updates, you can either use Yumex ('yum install yumex' , in case you don't have it) or you can use the terminal and the ' --exclude' method from 'man yum'. This coding may cover all the problems, or you may have to add a bit more:

Code:

 yum -y --exclude=evolut* update

Change "<" to "[" as the forum does not allow html tag.

Really? Never knew that one - gotta read up on the fine print again. Anyway, thanks -changed the tags.

Haha, since you took the time to fix your tags the first time... it looks like you were holding down the shift key on the opening tag --

Quote:

[code} yum -y --exclude evolution

Just change the } to a ]. lol

Ya know, just finding these fool keys is problem enough...

Anyhoo; fixed the typo. Thanks.

You type too much

... try this:

Code:

 yum -y --exclude=evolut* update

I found that forcing an install of evolution-data-server solved the dependency problem for me:

rpm -i --force evolution-data-server-1.6.2-1.fc5.1.i386.rpm

You have to download this rpm first though (the old fashioned way).
After this, I was able to do a very large "yum update" of 430+ packages.

*Sigh* Thanks, Nt4Cats - Edited once again & like your compression tweak. Probably this whole thing will be fixed by the time I get the fool thing perfect!

Appears Fixed!

***bob*** · #10 8th June 2006, 02:56 AM

Well, it's getting there. Just tried updating evolution, evolution-data-server and evolution-webcal. Evolution updated, however the other two are still reporting the error. Probably in process now and things should be straightened out tomorrow.

Thetargos · #11 8th June 2006, 04:39 AM

Not entirely true, evolution-connector is still giving some deps errors (as seen in Bugzilla)

JEO · #12 8th June 2006, 05:41 AM

The solution did not work for me.

# yum --exclude=evolut* update
<snip..>
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: libecal-1.2.so.6 for package: gnome-panel
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libecal-1.2.so.6 is needed by package gnome-panel

Thetargos · #13 8th June 2006, 05:43 AM

The updates are out now, no need to exclude the packages any longer, as gnome-panel has an update too which is interdependant of evolution-data-server, so you will have to update them both.

Nice one. Got hit by that yesterday.

OperatorOne · #15 8th June 2006, 05:56 PM

What about the issue with PAM? Is Yum still blasting out the libpam.so file so that you have to boot into single user and repair it?
