problem during yum update

[mickey0]

Hello,

I can't do the update through yum since I've got some dependency errors, like this:

Code: Select all

error: Package: qt5-qtwebkit-5.9.1-2.el7.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: qt5-qtbase(x86-64) = 5.9.7
           Installed: qt5-qtbase-5.9.2-3.el7.x86_64 (@base)
               qt5-qtbase(x86-64) = 5.9.2-3.el7
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

and many other like:

Code: Select all

Error: Package: mono-nunit-5.20.1.34-0.xamarin.2.epel7.x86_64 (download.mono-project.com_repo_centos_)
           Requires: mono-core = 5.20.1.34
           Removing: mono-core-5.20.1.19-0.xamarin.3.epel7.x86_64 (@download.mono-project.com_repo_centos_)
               mono-core = 5.20.1.19-0.xamarin.3.epel7
           Updated By: mono-core-6.0.0.327-0.xamarin.1.epel7.x86_64 (download.mono-project.com_repo_centos_)
..................................................................

Does anybody know what I can't do, what I can remove/re-install, please?

Thanks

RHEL 7.7 is out and EPEL have already rebuilt some packages that needed rebuilding for it. That means that those of us on CentOS 7.6 can't use those as they depend on 7.7 packages. CentOS 7.7 is not fully out yet - the packages are built and signed and in the CR repo but the isos are yet to be built and tested. You might have more luck if you use yum --enablerepo-cr ...

Also, some packages for EPEL have not been promoted from epel-testing yet so you may need to enable epel-testing if using CR.

yum and repositories in general are still confusing me. Is there any simple and clear guide to read that somebody can suggest to me?

Thanks

BTW with 'sudo yum --enablerepo cr update' I solved many errors but not all. This is what remains:

Try --enablerepo=cr,epel-testing

Hello,

nothing to do; a little better though.

Code: Select all

qt-creator would need to be rebuilt: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1748215

[spartanscrub]

So yum update for all qt5 stuff is just going to be broken until CentOS 7.7 is out? Enabling cr and epel-testing just makes more issues with other packages wanting the older version

[TrevorH]

If you only have CentOS repos including CR enabled and find things like that then they are bugs (assuming that you have the same yum priority assigned to all of base/updates and CR). If you find them in third party packages such as those from EPEL then that needs action from the EPEL maintainers. Since EPEL is built (afaik) on RHEL they will have been building things against 7.7 for most of the last month. If you find stuff broken from other repos then that's also a job for their maintainers to fix.

To be clear -- qt-creator that I mentioned above is an EPEL package and it has been built for RHEL 7.6. It would need to be rebuilt for RHEL 7.7 so that it would work for CentOS 7.7. That is a task for the EPEL package maintainer, not CentOS.

If someone has qt-creator installed and it causes problems with the update, one "solution" would be to yum remove qt-creator and then installing the package again once an updated package has been released.
