Fedora 11 Dependecy Issues - libpolkit.so.2

[engelbma]

Howzit,

I have been running Fedora for a couple of months now and decided to be adventurous and enable all Repositories, thus ensuring (or so I hoped) to running all the latest and greatest developed apps etc.

Alas, when I run updates via command console or Yum extender 2.0.5 I am unable to do so for many a files due to dependency issues as mentioned below.

The main culprit seem to be libpolkit.so.2, I have been searching frantically but have not been able to sort this out.

I would appreciate any advice in this regard.

Missing Dependency: libpolkit.so.2 is needed by package PolicyKit-kde-4.3.1-9.fc11.i586 (installed)
Missing Dependency: libpolkit-dbus.so.2 is needed by package polkit-qt-0.9.2-1.fc11.i586 (installed)
Missing Dependency: libpolkit-dbus.so.2 is needed by package PolicyKit-kde-4.3.1-9.fc11.i586 (installed)
Missing Dependency: libpolkit.so.2 is needed by package polkit-qt-0.9.2-1.fc11.i586 (installed)
Missing Dependency: libpolkit-grant.so.2 is needed by package PolicyKit-kde-4.3.1-9.fc11.i586 (installed)
Missing Dependency: libpolkit-grant.so.2 is needed by package polkit-qt-0.9.2-1.fc11.i586 (installed)
Missing Dependency: libboost_program_options-mt.so.4 is needed by package akonadi-1.2.1-1.fc11.i586 (installed)

can you post the output of yum repolist. one of the things with fedora is that some third party repos don't play nicely with each other.

Hi milomak,

Sure thing.

should have also asked for yum provides libpolkit.so.2 libpolkit-dbus.so.2 libpolkit-grant.so.2 libboost_program_options-mt.so.4

EDIT: my suspicion is that you have a conflict between livna and rpmfusion. as an aside i see that the proposed merge of the major 3rd party repos never happened. i guess you will have to make a choice between the two.

I disabled livna and now I am able to update a lot more but still not all.

Thks for the help milomak.

 

[milomak]

yep you have enabled the mixed repo pain.

seeing as you have disabled livna, what you can do is run yum list | grep lvn | grep installed. This should list the livna packages installed on your system.

The tough part comes now (and it most likely requires a lot of internet data). You should try and delete those livna packages. What is going to happen is that you might find a package that wants to remove most of your install.

This leaves you with 2 options:
1. take the pain and remove and reinstall the packages you need, or
2. wait out rpmfusion having higher version numbers then the installed livna packages. This step doesn't mean you dodge the pain in 1. If you are lucky you may dodge it.

The merge did happen.

Livna contains 3 packages - livna-release, libdvdcss and libdvdcss-devel. There would be too many legal repercussions if either Fedora or RPMFusion hosted libdvdcss.

You shouldn't enable updates and updates-testing at the same time. That's your first problem. The bigger problem is that you have also enabled Rawhide! That means that you are not really running F11 any more. You now have a mix of F11 and developmental packages for F12.

To be honest, I wouldn't know how to recover from such a problem... maybe someone over at fedoraforum.org will be able to give you better advice. (I have a feeling that they will tell you to re-install F11.)

 

[milomak]

ah i missed rawhide.

well unless he wants to reinstall, he needs to change all his repos to point to development/rawhide. then his system will update to f12 when it is released. but he will be running alpha/beta (wherever fedora is in their cycle) until the next version.

EDIT: clever how they kept livna.

I'll install the latest alpha/beta of fedora tomorrow

Thanks guys,

Not a major disaster, at this stage all still works fine (or so it seems)
Will wait until Fedora 12 is officially out for a clean install, want to upgrade to 64bit in any case.
