"Reload" old repository information and configuration

[kpbotbot]

I have no idea how to name this, so I named this that way.

So here's the problem. Lately, I have been having trouble installing some programs because of some dependency resolution errors. Sometimes I can work around it, and sometimes I can't.

The problem is that it looks for a package named in a different way or something.

Currently, I'm having problems installing "evolution-data-server" from source. It gives an error during configuring that says "libdb" can't be found, but I do know I have it installed.

I'm giving "reseting the repos" a shot because this might solve everything else. Basically, what I want to happen is that the package manager, and the repository list, would be back to "normal", the state where it's as if I just installed F13.

Here are screenshots of my repo list





Please help me shed light on this. It's tiring sorting out dependencies manually. Plus, there are no guarantees that I can have a successful installation :/

Execute this

su -
yum clean all

Try to install package again.

Post the output of this :

yum repolist

The output of everything. Tada

Is this a safe mixing of repositories?

By the way, still can't install evolution.

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

This evolution-data-server issue is all the rage lately at Fedora Forum. Seems that a version was pushed to stable before it should have been?. I don't think it's been fixed yet. Best advice is to wait a day or two. Check this link out for official information.

Made me feel better that I'm not the only one having the same problem :/ And that I didn't have to solve everything myself.

I know I've ran away from problems, but it seems that it's the only way. I reinstalled F13 last night, and tried to install vlc. This used to have dependency errors (package manager can't find some packages), but installed flawlessly this time.

Most likely, what happened was that I installed the rawhide repo from rpmfusion, and some other repos I shouldn't have added.

Check my above screenshots

Thanks for the replies, and the stuff about the evolution-data-server. I'll wait for a few days before updating.

Some are saying that using --skip-broken works and allows you to update other packages. It's also been suggested that adding exclude=evolution-data-server to /etc/yum.conf is a soution. I wouldn't bother with either unless you need to update something else right away.

Yes, did that. I'm just too conscious about getting EVERYTHING updated xD But since it's a repo thing, then I guess there's nothing I can do about it. I better wait

By the way, OCD rules!
