Hello,
I cannot upgrade avahi or avahi-glib using yum because of a config file/dependency conflict. I can't remove and reinstall it because it requires wiping out nearly half the system packages. Take a look what happens when I try it two different ways:
Code:
$ sudo yum install avahi
Password:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process

I am having problems similar to these two threads:
http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/a...ary/004423.html (external forum)
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=145678 (this forum)
In the former link, they suggest to the person to install smart (which I've never heard of). I installed it myself and tried to install avahi. This is what happens:
Code:
$ sudo smart install avahi
Loading cache...
Updating cache... ######################################## [100%]
warning: avahi-0.6.15-1.fc6@x86_64 is already installed
Computing transaction...
Code:
$ sudo smart install avahi-glib
Loading cache...
Updating cache... ######################################## [100%]
warning: avahi-glib-0.6.15-1.fc6@x86_64 is already installed
Computing transaction...
I need a little help here please.
Avahi itself is a dependency for other things I am trying to install, and this is holding me up.
Cannot upgrade avahi because of yum error
