Problems with dependency after Update (F7->F8)

[michi]

Hello,
Yesterday, I did an update from F7 to F8. Since than, I can't do a complete update, cause yum/pup can't solve all dependencies. What's the problem and how can I fix it? What should I do? Here's the output:

$ yum update

Loading "downloadonly" plugin

I've tried the following things:

# yum clean all
# rpm --initdb
# rpm --rebuilddb

Really strange:
It says that kernel-i686 = 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 is needed by kmod-ntfs-2.6.23.1-42.fc8. But I've erased kmod-ntfs!?

try removing the orphans

su
yum erase beryl kmod-ntfs-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 gstreamer-plugins-ugly-devel mdbtools mdbtools-odbc
yum update

[michi]

Hey, thanks, that worked!
But I still don't understand why "yum erase kmod-ntfs-2.6.23.1-42.fc8" isn't the same as "yum erase kmod-ntfs"!?

I think all the kmods from livna for F8 have a meta package as well
