Today I had my first run in with dependency errors, after several successful installations.
I decided that it was time to update Gaim, as the copy that FC2 comes with by default is quite dated (0.77-6, as opposed to the modern 0.82.1). I went to the Fedora mirror site, and downloaded the approporiate rpm. Typing in the usual command (rpm -ivh), I was thrown a list of dependency errors, namely
Quote:
libebook.so.8 is needed by gaim-0.82.1-2
libedata-book.so.1 is needed by gaim-0.82.1-2
libedataserver.so.3 is needed by gaim-0.82.1-2
libsilc-1.0.so.2 is needed by gaim-0.82.1-2
libsilcclient-1.0.so.2 is needed by gaim-0.82.1-2
So I Google the first few, and find out that most of them are in the same package, Evolution Data Sever. I downloads that, and commence to rpm it. Same story, more dependency errors.
So after another while of Googleing, I decide to hell with it, I'll get the update via yum. I tried two different variations, neither of which worked...
yum update gaim
and
yum update gaim-0.82.1
Each time all I got was a long list of unrelated headers being downloaded...
Can anybody help? Has anyone succeeded in doing this? Or even any general tips for dealing with dependencies?
