Software update issue
Hi there,
I'm kinda new to Red Hat, I used it a veeery long time ago back in the 90's on this is a return to the fold so to speak :)
OK So i have the RPMForge repository enabled and have installed a copule of things from it - now I'm getting these messages from Software Update saying that certain packages need to update, but when I uupdate them I get a message saying "None of the selected packages could be updated" the details are:
vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64 requires libebml.so.2()(64bit)
vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64 requires libthreadutil.so.2()(64bit)
vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64 requires libmodplug.so.0()(64bit)
vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64 requires libmatroska.so.2()(64bit)
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.19-3.el6.rf.x86_64 requires libmodplug.so.0()(64bit)
vlc-1.1.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64 requires libupnp.so.3()(64bit) : Success - empty transaction
vlc is working fine so I don't quite know what is happening but it seems that some kind of record of what has been updated is out of sync somehow.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this please?
Thanks
Scott

Hello,
It's hard to say what is causing the dependency issue exactly. You can 'exclude' these packages from being updated, by adding the following to /etc/yum.conf:
exclude=vlc,gstreamer-plugins-bad
Then try again, clearing metadata and cache info first, for good measure. From the command line as the root user, run:
yum clean all
yum check-update
yum update
Cheers,
Marcus
