yum missing depndency error

[Nagahyde]

I have RedHat SE (2.6.18-164.el5PAE) and yum gives the following error.

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
xen-3.0.3-94.el5.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: xen-libs = 3.0.3-94.el5 is needed by 
               package xen-3.0.3-94.el5.i386 (installed)

I do not know how to fix this. I tried my usual solutions to no avail:

yum --clean all
# package-cleanup --dupes
Setting up yum
# package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found
# rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

It is likely that you have some other software installed that has a dependency on an older version of the xen libs so it cannot install the new one. This is the kind of error I get frequently when a library change has been released that would cause problems for software that was built with a previous version of the library. Usually the dependent parts are also updated within a few days, so in such cases I just wait awhile.

So how long should I wait? The problem is still there.

Are you running xen virtual machines on your system?

[Nagahyde]

No, I have no idea what is using that library. Is there a way to tell?

[Rubberman]

Only applications that are using the xen virtual machine, such as the VM manager. So, to repeat my question, are you running any xen virtual machines, such as a Windows or other Linux operating system as a guest? If not, then you can remove xen completely from your system and run a clean kernel, which will allow you to use software that is otherwise incompatible with xen, such as nVidia video drivers.
