    Talking Missing dependency problem (several repositories) *SOLVED*

    Hi!

    I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) (Linux 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5) and are having some dependency problems with
    the package perl-Razor-Agent.i386 0:2.85-1.el5.

    I've been needing some packages from jason and have added this repository.

    So when I run yum update, I get the following problem:

    Code:
    # yum update
    Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
    Skipping security plugin, no data
    Setting up Update Process
    Resolving Dependencies
    Skipping security plugin, no data
    --> Running transaction check

    ---> Package perl-Razor-Agent.i386 0:2.85-1.el5 set to be updated

    Error: Missing Dependency: perl-Razor-Agent = 2.84-1.el5.rf is needed by package                                                                               razor-agents-2.84-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed)
     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
    yum-update --skip-broken works like it should and updates the other packages.
    But I really need this package to be updated since I've getting timeout with some CGI perl scripts and I have my forebodings that this could be the problem.

    I've also tried to cleanup package problems etc, and yum clean dbcache/all.

    I've googled and searched on this forum and some people seem to have same problems, I can't see a clear resolution somewhere thought.


    This is my repo-list:
    Code:
    # yum repolist
    Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
    repo id            repo name                                     status
    epel               Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - i386  enabled:  4,639
    rhel-i386-server-5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for 32-bit x86 enabled:  7,482
    rpmforge           Red Hat Enterprise 5Server - RPMforge.net - d enabled: 10,448
    utterramblings     Jason's Utter Ramblings Repo                  enabled:     66
    repolist: 22,635
    root@bond:~#



    Would really appreciate your help,

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: SOLVED
    I found the problem. It seemed to be a problem between the two versions of perl-Razor-Agent between the two RHEL and EPEL repositories.

    I removed the EPEL repository and uninstalled perl-Razor-Agent, then used the RHEL repo and installed it, then CGI and perl started to work properly. It still complains over the dependency problem and that's because the repos are not compatibable with each other.

    Does any one know how to exclude a package check from a repository? So I don't have to --skip-broken every each time.
