CentOS

I'm trying to apply the normal batch of regular updates, and popt is giving me fits. If I try to install popt I get the following:

Code: Select all

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

That makes it sound to me like either popt isn't installed, or the wrong version is installed. So I wanted to see what was going on:

Code: Select all

[root@new-host-3 ~]# yum --showduplicates list popt | expand

popt.i386                  1.14-1.el5.test                      rpmforge-testing

So it looks like it is installed, and looks like it's also the right version. What am I missing here?

rpm-python-4.4.2.3-36.el5_11.i386 from installed has depsolving problems

It is trying to replace the correct version with one from rpmforge-testing, but the current version is needed by python.
Disable rmpforge-testing.

You've been rpmforged ;-(

Incidentally you seem to have disabled your CentOS 'base' repo and enabled the C5.9 base and updates ones.

Ahhhh!!!! I bet I did that when I was trying my damnedest to get either PrBoom or Yamagi Quake 2 to compile and it needed some weird thing. That fixed it, it was the fact I disabled centos-base(which I had done amidst troubleshooting the issue) and had rpmforge-testing on. Why's rpmforge gotta do me like this?

Also, thanks for the help, I wouldn't have thought to point the finger at rpmforge

You should review your use of rpmforge altogether, most packages from there have seen zero updates for 2 or 3 years and the whole repo has gone pretty much unmaintained. There are packages in it that have unfixed security vulnerabilities.

Noted. I honestly can't remember why I thought I needed it in the first place, but I'm sure it was to compile some goofy engine, probably PrBoom. I have it disabled for now and updates are coming through cleanly. Thanks again for the help.
