[GoinEasy9]

Tonight's update has a conflict between gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-extras.

Removing gnome-icon-theme-extras would also remove rhythmbox so I excluded both from the update.

Same thing here. I had to exclude gnome-icon-theme* and rhythmbox* to update successfully. yum update --skip-broken did not work. These are things to be expected with a beta release.

Hi,

Skip-broken won't work with file conflicts since they occur after the transaction.

[glennzo]

Hello Rahul. Maybe I should have worded that differently. I didn't mean that you could expect skip-broken to not work with a beta release, but update errors in general. Sorry for the confusion.

[RahulSundaram]

Hi

Just to clarify, skip-broken is just not expected to work with file conflicts at all. It should work fine with dependency breakages. Beta or not, doesn't matter much.

[GoinEasy9]

I have an easier way of looking at it. Since yum didn't advise me that --skip-broken would work, I assumed it wouldn't. I excluded gnome-icon-theme & gnome icon-theme-extras.
I only have gnome-icon-theme-extras on one machine, updated the others with no problems. I just think it's funny that an icon theme has an app like Rhythmbox as a dependency. I have Rhythmbox on the other computers and it seems it doesn't depend on gnome-icon-theme-extras.

Hi,

It is part of the effort to make GNOME Icon theme compliant with the freedesktop.org icon theme specification and dropping the symlinks which were originally added for compatibility reasons.

Hello,

I am having the same problem in from your first post.

Did you say that excluding gnome-icon-theme & gnome icon-theme-extras will allow me to update. However, how do I exclude them?

Many thanks,

[glennzo]

Hmm... I do seem to remember something about "you could try --skip-broken" ...when I first tried updating. That was the very first update after a fresh installation. Maybe it was referring to one of the other errors, not gnome-icon-*.

[Hlingler]

However, how do I exclude them?

su
yum update -x gnome-icon-theme*

You may also want to review man yum

@UK2 yum --exclude=gnome-icon-theme* update works, although last night I used the full name and version number.

LOL....or Hlingler's way.....

There's a new gnome-icon-theme in koji that works with extras if you want to get it before it gets pushed to updates-testing.

Thanks dd_wizard, I just noticed that in the Bugzilla. Will give it shot later.

[nimnull22]

Second day the same issue. May be someone gives developers a hint to remove it from update list, until a solution will be found.

Or may be it is only me who has this problem already?

Thanks.

[GoinEasy9]

I can confirm, installing gnome-icon-theme-2.30.1-3.fc13.noarch from koji works with gnome-icon-theme-extras-2.30.1-1.fc13.noarch. Thanks dd_wizard.
