Phil Edwards Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 For quite a while now, every time I fire up my MDV2008.1 machine, the update manager (i.e. /usr/bin/mdkapplet) tells me that there is a newer version of the Evolution mail client available, but it can't be installed due to a missing dependency. Running an update from the command line confirms this: [phile@localhost:/home/phile] $ sudo urpmi --auto --auto-select --update Some requested packages cannot be installed: evolution-2.22.3.1-1.1mdv2008.1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libgpilotdconduit.so.2) evolution-exchange-2.22.3-1.1mdv2008.1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libgpilotdconduit.so.2) [phile@localhost:/home/phile] $ rpm -q --whatprovides libgpilotdconduit no package provides libgpilotdconduit Based on past experience, this sort of error generally tends to be due to the repository mirror that I'm using being a bit out of date and it usually sorts itself out within a couple of days. I've been getting this message for the best part of 2 weeks and it shows no signs of going away. Other updates have been installed as normal during this period. Has anybody else come across this and figured out a fix for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'd remove all your repos, and then add them again and see if it's different. Also, there is a file under /var/cache/urpmi - maybe called mirrors.xml or something, you can delete this, and then when you add your urpmi sources again, it will download a new up-to-date mirror list.

Phil Edwards Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well, according to bugzilla, Frederic owned up to breaking it, Olivier has tested the fix, now we're just waiting for somebody to push the updated package out so the mirrors can pick it up. Guess I'll just have to sit and wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
