Yum Banshee problem.

[robaq]

Hi, i have recently installed Fedora 8 and now i want to upgrade it to 9. But everytime i'm running "yum update" or "yum upgrade", terminal starts to loop at:

--> Package banshee.i386 0:0.13.1-1.fc8 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: mono(gnome-vfs-sharp) = 2.16.0.0 for package: banshee
--> Processing Dependency: mono(glib-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 for package: banshee
--> Processing Dependency: mono(gconf-sharp) = 2.16.0.0 for package: banshee

--> Processing Dependency: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) for package: perl-DateManip
---> Package libksba.i386 0:1.0.3-2.fc9 set to be updated

Also, when i'm trying to install something (eg. PreUpgrade) it says:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(glade-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by package banshee
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(gtk-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by package banshee
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(glib-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by package banshee
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(gnome-vfs-sharp) = 2.16.0.0 is needed by package banshee
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(gconf-sharp) = 2.16.0.0 is needed by package banshee
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(gdk-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by package banshee
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(gnome-sharp) = 2.16.0.0 is needed by package banshee
Error: Missing Dependency: mono(pango-sharp) = 2.10.0.0 is needed by package banshee

So i can't do anything. Please, help

do you use banshee?

maybe if you remove it you can work around the problem?

It says that banshee is not installed.

Please post the output of the command

yum repolist

If you see output that looks like this:

[glenn@toshiba yum.repos.d]$ yum repolist
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata
No Presto metadata available for livna
No Presto metadata available for fedora
No Presto metadata available for rawhide

 * updates: lesloueizeh.com
fedora               Fedora 9 - i386                          enabled :   9,897
livna                Livna for Fedora Core 9 - i386 - Base    enabled :     741
rawhide              Fedora - Rawhide                         enabled :  10,636
updates              Fedora 9 - i386 - Updates                enabled :   3,365
repolist: 24,639

then rawhide is in fact enabled and you will get the errors that you are seeing. You can disable rawhide one of two ways.

yum --disablerepo=rawhide update

or you can, and preferable should, edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo. There will be a line in the file that reads enabled=1. Change it to enabled=0 and try your update again.

This isn't working for me - I'm still getting the same problem and I never had those repositories showing, just the standard repos that are enabled when installing Fedora 8.

How else could I solve the problem?

upgrading from 8 to 9 is NOT the recommended way to do it. Do a fresh install .
For MOST people using upgrade will cause MORE problems than it is worth ,in time resetting things .
