I have had this problem for a week already. It is not very important, and I know they are just probably going to fix it soon, but after a week and not seeing anybody else talk about this, I think it may be time to ask for some help here.
Whenever I try an update (our beloved 'yum -y update'), it goes through the motions then ends when it says 'python-devel conflicts with python < 2.4.4-1.fc6'. Here is a sample of the output:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# env http_proxy=http://10.106.1.11:3128 yum -y update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Error: python-devel conflicts with python < 2.4.4-1.fc6
Naturally, for it to finish updating, I have to add "--exclude python-setuptools" to the yum command, just so the rest of the packages get updated.
It is no biggie, but this has persisted for a week already. Is anybody else experiencing this problem? I'm still using FC6. My repositories are the standard Fedora Core, Extras, and Updates repositories, plus the Livna, Flash, Jpackage-Fedora and Jpackage-Generic repos.
It is worth mentioning that even with just Core, Extras and Updates enabled, the python conflict still persists.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
Thanks.
