Fedora 17 Update Problem

[Magickman]

I am having a small problem with Apper and Yum, and Updates in general. If I use only the official Fedora repos, I have no updates. But if I engage the rpmfusion repos, Apper cannot install the updates called for. RPMFusion was working fine when I used Easylife to install java, media codecs, and media players, it went exceptionally fast too. What gives? Anyone know?

What errors are you getting? Something to do with gvfs?

[DBelton]

Are you getting a lot of dependency problems with rpmfusion packages?

like this?

FYI: I just installed those packages on a i686 f17 today without issue.

I need to look at my errors more and see what is happening. The updates hit right at the time when they were switching from rawhide to the regular repos, and I think something may have gotten mixed up due to that. I just haven't had a good time to dig into it and see what's going on yet.

[Magickman]

Yeah, happened to me agin with this moring's updates. Dependancy problems, cannot install due to broken packages. I used the command yum --skip-broken update to get the updaes.
I think this will go away when Fedora 17 is a full Release and not in Beta stage. Until then, this is a good workaround.

Me too... Today, I have a bunch of updates pending, but yum cannot find "PackageKit-qt-0.7.4-1.fc17.x86_64 (updates-testing)"

One little question... Is there a fast way to change the language for those shell commands? I mean, I would like to post those error messages in plain english, but I don't know if there is a way to do that (appart from translating myself one by one)...

Thank you.

[Haber_Nir]

wait for the next updates . they probley (like always) fix it with the next updates

[DBelton]

for the PackageKit-qt problem, you can do

yum --exclude=PackageKit* --skip-broken update

That will allow you to get the other updates out there.

[Magickman]

Thanks, that worked like a charm.

[idoitprone]

Umm I think you have the same problem as me

I think you have to clean your yum cache

mmmmm yum cache

yum clean all

then do

yum update

For a couple of weeks I was wondering why was I not getting updates on a beta

Try to put "LANG=C" in front of your command line. If you call the command with sudo, put it in front of the "sudo":

# LANG=C yum update

or

$ LANG=C sudo yum update

And by the way, I don't have any problems with broken dependencies. Maybe there is something wrong with your RPMDB or with your yum installation. idoitprone's suggestion sounds pretty good...

[hadrons123]

I maybe wrong. I did not recieve any update in the last 3 days. I 'm using f17 TC2. yum returns without an update.
