Missing dependencies?

[daviddoria]

What would cause missing dependencies? I thought the whole idea of the package manager is that if you try to install a package (through the package manager) it should know about all of the dependencies and offer to install them?

sudo yum install kdebase-workspace*

.....

 --> Missing Dependency: qt = 1:4.5.2-3.fc11 is needed by package 1:qt-mysql-4.5.2-3.fc11.i586 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: qt = 1:4.5.2-3.fc11 is needed by package 1:qt-mysql-4.5.2-3.fc11.i586 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: kdepimlibs = 4.3.1-1.fc11 is needed by package kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.3.1-1.fc11.i586 (updates)

I'm not so interested in how to fix these as to why the package manager doesn't always seem to know what to do?

It does know what to do. Stop! It can't find the required files. They apparently don't exist so that's it. Nothing else to do.

[daviddoria]

Thats what I mean though - if it KNOWS ABOUT the files, they should exist, right? When would something be in the repo that has a link to something outside the repo?? Or am I missing a repo?

As always, refusing to update your system

http://mirror.leaseweb.com/fedora/li...c11.x86_64.rpm
http://mirror.leaseweb.com/fedora/li....fc11.i586.rpm

su
yum update --enablerepo=u*g -v

P.S. Therefore, this is the last time I answer one of your missing deps threads
You're missing updates-testing repo. Enable it.

[daviddoria]

Hang on a minute - I'm confused. Have I been refusing to update?? I'll do whatever it takes to get it to work!

So are you recommending using rpms instead of yum?

so u*g was for Updates-testinG ?

I seem to be back in business after enabling updates-testing - thanks!

Well, yeah. In the KDE thread one of it's maintainers - rdieter gave you specific instructions on the path to follow.

Dunno what you mean here
