View Full Version : FC5 update glitz dependency error

I'm trying to update from FC4 to FC5 via yum but I'm having some dependency errors. I skipped a few unessential programs that were causing me grief (xchat, gstreamer-extras, etc) but this one I just can't skip, since glitz is used by every GTK program.
*** Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11 is needed by package glitz
*** Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL is needed by package glitz
I'm updating from the devel & devel-extra repos. How can I get round this?
Thanks in advance,

Eddd, don't have the solution I'm afraid, but is there some reason you can't simply bork the entire process and burn the FC5T3 CD's and do a fresh install? Hopefully you've backed up your data before even trying this, since it's not recommended.
I'm also moving this thread to FC5-Dev, since more people who have been through the process will see it there.

I did the next best thing, I dropped down to runlevel 3, removed X, did a full update and then shoved everything back on :)

I just removed parts of X while still in the kde. I just couldn't launch any new X related program anymore for a few minutes.
