yum error message
by Timothy Murphy
Why do I get the error message
Error: missing dep: redhat-menus for pkg evolution
when I run "yum update".
I can avoid it by "yum --exclude evolution update"
but I'd still like to now what one is meant to do.
I find yum very useful,
but I really think its error messages should be thought through.
The other day my link to the network was down,
but instead of a message saying something like
"Cannot access repository xyz"
I got a python error message about a problem in line n of python file y.
The best error messages suggest possible remedial action.
The next best tell you exactly what is wrong, eg in this case something like
"Cannot find file redhat-menus-xyz required by package evolution",
if that is indeed the error.

FC3rc1 disk one small
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
I've now downloaded al 4 iso's for rc1, including disk 1 twice.
Unforch, while the Mozilla downloader thinks disk 1 is complete, the
size of the disk 1 file as it shows it in its dl window is only
156550 KB. According to the MD5SUM file in that directory, there
should be a dvd iso, but its not there, and the md5sum is correct.
All 4 are correct in fact.
However, says he, scratching head in puzzlement, an ls -l does show a
nearly full cd's file size at 630525952 Oct 25 07:46
FC3-i386-disc1.iso. Methinks Mozilla has a bug or 2. When dl'ing,
the reported speeds exceeded my dsl bandwidth by about 50% too.
The rescue iso is coming in now. And at the correct 82KB/sec. Redhat
must have put some bigger iron in that downloads box, I usually only
get 3 to 15 KB/sec out of any redhat src machine, with long pauses in
the data flow, presumably due to small pipes. Amazing, and kudo's to
redhat for fixing that! The srcs will be equally pleasureable to get
at this rate.
Several Silly Q's dept:
Running 2.6.9 on an FC2 system with all ext3 filesystems, and that
'mkdvd-1.0' out of cd iso's script, can I put the src iso's on that
same RW dvd?
Is the resultant dvd iso too big for either the filesystem or the
actual disk?
How do I assure that such a script built dvd image remains bootable
like the disk one cd is when burning it with a recent k3b?

FC3-rc1 Rescue CD (refernces to Fedora Core 2.92 test 3)
by David Bentley
Just had a first look at FC3-rc1 that I downloaded
overnight last night and have just burned to CD's and
noticed that the release notes and readme files on the
rescue CD still refer to Fedora Core 2.92 test 3

Re: Prism54 firmware load failure only during boot
by Andrew
Hi,
Join the party. I have noticed this, but I am just so glad to get it to load the firmware at all, I figured I could live with it not working during boot. For the record are you running 2.6.9-1.640?
With mine, even with I plug it in after the boot is complete, it fails to load the firmware anywhere from 2 to 4 times before getting loaded. You should also see in your messages log that the /dev/0000:30.0 (or similar) was being removed by udev, for each failed firmware load.
My gut tells me there is a race condition in the sysfs interface of the prism54 driver, so that the place where it needs to cp the firmware to, does not exist yet when the cp actually happens. Whether or not anything like udev is involved in that race condition, I don't know, b/c I've not researched it enough to find out --- yet.
I'm still learning a lot (and have a lot to learn) about the hotplug environment, etc., (as you will see if you look at my bz entry for hal
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135202)
If you do bz I would love to follow the story -- but I will keep my mouth shut :-) so could yout post the #?
Does hal-device-manager advanced properties for your WG511 show the right MAC?
Thanks & good luck.
Andrew

As an overall that goes for the wired network too. Something called NetworkManager should handle location/profile managment as well. If the wired network is selected (or is the only interface), then your choice of wired network profiles should show up, with a "New..." option at the end. There's a whole lot use cases there, but that should demonstrate.

mount/umount cdrom all screwed up

All latest rawhide.
Standard cd/rw on parallel ide.
/etc/fstab says:

Put data cd in drive. drive spins. mount shows nothing mounted. Now:

redhat-menus-1.13 not present in rawhide
by Tino Meinen
Apparently evolution-2.0.2-3 needs redhat-menus-1.13, but that package
is not in the rawhide directory. Could someone please add it? I'd like
to test the new evolution.
Thanks

Todays Yum Update Fails Dependencies (redhat-menus-1.13)
by Christopher A. Williams
The error message below says it all (running yum -y update):
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: redhat-menus>= 1.13 for package: evolution
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: missing dep: redhat-menus for pkg evolution
I can't find redhat-menus-1.13 on any mirror. Version 1.12 is installed.
Did it just get missed or are the mirrors still syncing up?
Cheers,
Chris

missing dependency
by Rob Shewan
This may be premature, if so, I apologize.
There is currently a missing dependency for evolution on the servers.
The latest evolution requires redhat-menus-1.13. Currently 1.12-1 is on
the servers.
