why so many dependency conflicts? [solved]

[frankzyz]

when I install the stardic, rpm, I ran into dependency conflict,

when I install amule, rpm, I ran into dependency conflict,

when I install .... , I ran into dependency conflict......

Can anyone tell me a universal solution to fit the problem?

 

Thanks!

Hi, Just out of curiosity, are you installing via MCC Software manager, or via an .rpm that you have downloaded from somewhere?

No matter where the installation start.

for example, from the console, urpmi:

[root@localhost frank]# urpmi amule
some required software can not be installed:
amule-2.2.2-1plf2009.0.i586 (reason is dependency conflict /*translated from Chinese, word by word, should be: the reason is the following one is not fulfilled*/ libcryptopp.so.6)
still continue ?(Yes(Y)/No(n))[Yes]y
[root@localhost frank]#

 

Via MCC, software manager, if I select the amule listed in the resource, it returns a popup message window that tells me can not select that amule because of the same dependency conflict.

 

Thanks for reply!

Do you have the /contrib/release repo defined?

yes, i have. In the MCC software media manager, I found a item is contrib updates(official 2009.0-2)

It installs correctly here.

Try to install new repos, that have helped me a time or two in the past.

OK, go to 'install and remove software' > Options > Media manager, then configure your sources (mirror list). I would suggest you enable these:

 

Main

Main Updates

Contrib

Contrib Updates

Non-free

Non-free Updates

PLF Free

PLF Non-free

 

and disable anything else. Then in the same Media manager window, go to File > Update, and select what you want to update. I would suggest you select and update all the repos I've listed above.

 

Now try to install amule. Please let us know if that works?

I think Jim nailed it. He asked if you have Contrib not Contrib/updates :) , When adding the repos it's good practice to have both contrib and contrib/updates etc... the list that Greg2 posted (just above my post).

Amazing!

It works!

Thanks!

The dependency problems rely on the packages sources?

[adamw]

Yes. Packages in Main only rely on other packages in Main. Packages in Contrib rely on packages in Main and other packages in Contrib. Packages from PLF may depend on packages in any Mandriva repository. The Updates repositories are not full sets of packages, they only contain packages that have been updated since release; you're intended to have both X and X Updates enabled.
