Missing Dependencies

[GoinEasy9]

I must say, reading all the problems about black screens on installation I was a bit worried, but, my install of Fedora 12 Alpha went without a hitch. LOL, well, the install went okay.

While trying to install either Konversation or X-chat I get dependencie errors:

libaudit.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package anaconda-12.17-1.fc12.x86_64 (rawhide)
libaudit.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package 1:gdm-2.27.90-1.fc12.x86_64 (rawhide)

audit-libs-1.7.13-2 is installed just like on Fedora 11, and I do believe that gives me libaudit.so.

Any help would be appreciated. (Or an alternative IRC client)

TIA

Edit: it seems that everything I try to install gets that dependencie error. Guess I'll try some package-cleanup tricks. And LOL, while I was writing this, my wallpaper changed from the courtyard brickwork, to a pic of Constantine. Many surprises. bbl.

Try doing and upgrade on audit-libs first.

[GoinEasy9]

Thanks jvillain
tried "yum upgrade audit-libs" and just plain "yum upgrade" with long list of files to be upgraded, then a list of dependencies:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I tried the package-cleanup options at the bottom, don't want to --skip-broken, it might do more harm than good. If I remove and reinstall audit-libs, it'll probably remove way to many things. I'm still experimenting, any more ideas would be appreciated.

[jvillain]

Each one of those lines has a package on the left and then one on the right. Go through each of the ones on the left and try and upgrade it individually. Don't be surprised if you end up with more or dep issues as you work through them. Also don't be surprised if you end up waiting on libcrypto when you get to the end. Hopefully it will be upgraded soon.

I take it you upgraded from disk? This is usually what you get when you do that. That is why I usually try to avoid it and yum my way through. But some times it can't be avoided.

[ryptyde]

Wait is about all you can do, I'm sure it will be resolved in a day or two.

[GoinEasy9]

Thanks for your help jvillain, coming from Debian Sid a couple of months ago, I'm used to dependency problems, and i'm used to waiting until things are resolved. But I'm confused about your question of upgrading from disk. This was a fresh install from the live CD, I didn't upgrade until I had the first problem installing Konversation. Upgrade now shows hundreds of packages to be upgraded. Did I miss a step during install, or did the install run improperly? It didn't install like Fedora 11 did, downloading most of the apps straight from the repo. Sorry if I'm a bit confused, could you explain upgrading from the disk?

[ryptyde]

About those errors

libaudit.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package anaconda-12.17-1.fc12.x86_64 (rawhide)
libaudit.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package 1:gdm-2.27.90-1.fc12.x86_64 (rawhide)

I have the same on my 32bit install and there are a lot of packages that depend on that "libaudit.so.0" .

I installed F12 Alpha via usb to a Acer Aspire One and expect this type of behaviour that's what testing is all about expect "instability" at this point and have patience.

[GoinEasy9]

Thanks ryptyde
Like I said, I came from Sid, so I'm used to these problems popping up. As long as I know things like this are expected, I don't have to reinstall, I'll just wait.

[jvillain]

That is interesting. I had just assumed that you had upgraded from disk because that is usually what causes the problems you are having. The reason is the installer is designed to not really car much about what is on the disk and figuring out dependencies. It just figures out what it needs and for the most part just pukes it out on the hard drive. Lots of stuff gets installed from 3rd parties and if they had to try and figure that out before a release it would never happen. That can leave a lot of dependency issues behind.

In your case what is probably going on is that the Fedora packagers at some point took a snapshot of the available packages and rolled those up into the F12 - Alpha disk. But the repository keeps getting updates. Especially now since there are lots of bug reports being submitted. Some get updated faster and more often then others. If a package maintainer is slow in updating it can start to cause issues with other packages. If package A needs package B but package A gets released before package B does then you start to run into issues. Now usually this gets handled by just telling you that package A can't be updated. But if you are installing that is a different story because it can't just tell you the package doesn't exist. The more packages you have installed the more tangled the web becomes. That is why if you have software you are never going to use it makes a lot of sense to uninstall it. That way the dependencies for it don't become part of the calculation.

If you aren't in a real hurry to get Konversation in or can use some thing else in the mean time you can wait a couple of days and try a 'yum upgrade' to see if some thing gets submitted that frees up the log jam. It will save you a lot of work.

[Trapper]

I'm not sure that this specifically applies to you GoinEasy9 but there were "lots" of dependency issues with packages released to rawhide yesterday, the 28th. It might be a bit before it's all sorted out and corrected.

[GoinEasy9]

Thanks all for your help,
I'm starting to think that installing from the Live CD wasn't my best choice. There already is a new audit-libs in the upgrade list, but it won't upgrade. If I need the dependency to install the upgrade, but the upgrade contains the dependency, I'm sort of in a Catch-22 situation. Do you think I would have a better chance with the netinstall iso?

Another question: Now that /boot can handle ext4, is it necessary to have it as a separate partition? Can I leave it in the root partition, or does Fedora mandate it to be separate?

Thanks Again

[jvillain]

It can be the same partition. There are reasons why you may choose to keep it separate though. When we upgrade to the next great file system like BTFS we maybe in the same boat again with grub being behind where the kernel is. If you decide to mirror your disks with software raid it is definitely better to have your boot separate. I actually mirror my boot and keep important rescue info there as well like a copy of my md.conf etc.

[SlowJet]

The deps issues are the result of the new openssl version 1.0.0.
Anything that uses sll needed to be changed or recompiled.
It was supposed to be in a separate tag but something slipped through, and other packages were not ready, and some had to wait for a fix from another dep.
It could not be resolved via normal methods using rawhide repos, nor was there a list of packages involved, and which ones were the final version in koji. About 40-50 rpm would have been needed and then a
yum localupdate /home/useryou/Download/*.rpm
(If one knew the packages to download.)
Not worth the effort, so wait it out.


It should be fixed on the 30th rawhide push or the next rawhide push,
No guarantees.

F12 opensll updates
Vbox on F11 host Intel D865BGF mobo, Intel graphics, vesa with xorg.conf, PentIV 2.5 ht

The default install set from alpha resolved everything except nss-tools.
nss-tools still wanted sqlite3.
I download nss-27 nss-tools-27 and nss-softoken-22 nss-softokn-freebl-22
I then did in root console (f3)
cd /home/userme/Download
yum localupdate *.rpm --nogpgcheck

nss-tools stll wanted sqlite3 so

next
cd /
rpm -qa nss\
shows version 18
rpm -e nss-tools-18
shows dep of coolkey
rpm -e nss-tools18 --nodeps
cd /home/userme/Downlod
rm nss-tools-27
yum localupdate *.rpm --nogpgcheck
all the nss packages (3 I think) updated.
cd /
yum update
got 148 rpm for 153 MB
all resolved
download and updated ok
daily cron started and finished
reboot from commad console
booted ok

SJ

I now see a version nss-softokn-23 in koji.

solved this with:

yum remove anaconda
yum -y update
