updated kdebase does not cure dependancy issues
by Oldman
Installation of kdebase-3.3.0-0.1.rc2 does not fix the multiple
dependencies of rc1 released on 8 August
file /usr/bin/kdepasswd from install of kdebase-3.3.0-0.1.rc2 conflicts
with file from package kdeutils-3.2.3-1

Also release of howl0.96 and howl-libs will not install due to missing
dependencies:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
gnome-vfs2 2.7.90-2 requires libhowl-0.9.5.so.0

GDM is not coming up.
by Peter Banks
I have update to all the newest rpms that were in the rawhide this
morning
Kernel 515 etc. In addition to the Mozilla, firefox, epiphany problem
everyone is getting. GDM does not come up hour glass just keeps turning.
The GDM log in /var/logs does not have any error messages. Kdm ran
great.
I can log into kde and gnome but gnome appears to run very rough.
Epiphany also had problems with missing libhowl files.

yum update problems
by Michael Wiktowy
After being forced to exclude some packages I got a set that was self-
consistent. Usually that bodes well ... not this time though:
[root@localhost ~]# yum --exclude=gnome-vfs2 --exclude=howl-libs --
exclude=howl update
... some regular error-free stuff snipped ...
Running test transaction:
Errors reported doing trial run
file /usr/bin/kdepasswd from install of kdebase-3.3.0-0.1.rc2 conflicts
with file from package kdeutils-3.2.3-1
file /usr/share/applications/kde/kdepasswd.desktop from install of
kdebase-3.3.0-0.1.rc2 conflicts with file from package kdeutils-3.2.3-1
file /usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/BeachBall.png from install of

file /usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/Flower.png from install of
kdebase-3.3.0-0.1.rc2 conflicts with file from package kdeutils-3.2.3-1
Are some "obsoletes" tags missing in these packages after some
shuffling? Is there anything simple other than wait for new packages
that I can do to prod this along? kdebase and kdeutils have a huge
number of dependancies that I would have to --exclude ... maybe I will
pull out my old brute-force "step-by-step" yum wrapper from last beta
cycle ...
#!/bin/sh
for i in `yum list updates |cut -f 1 -d " " |grep -A 500 -e ---- |\
grep -v -e ----` ; do
echo "Updating $i"
yum -y -C update $i
done
Even though I put in the -C, yum seems to look for new headers each time
anyways ... hmmmmm ...

Current updates
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
gnome-vfs2 relies on libhowl-0.9.5.so.0 which is unavailable.
Is this just an oversight or am I updating too quickly?

Re: kernel-2.6.7-1.515.x86_64--Where's the source?
by Janina Sajka
OK. Maybe something's changed when I wasn't paying attention, but
there's no kernel-sourcecode for this kernel, or for the 509 that
preceded it last weekend.
So, am I just out to lunch too long?

Gnome themes missing redhat-email.png
by Gerry Tool
After all recent updates that will install, when trying to change to a
Gnome theme other than Bluecurve, an error message appears saying:
Failed to load image redhat-email.png
Details: Failed to open file
'/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/redhat-email.png': No such file or
directory
There is a file for Bluecurve.

Kernel 2.6.7-1.509.i686 panic
by Paul Wu
Hi,
Since upgraded of the FC3-T1's kernel from 499 to 509. The Linux won''t boot and return a kernel panic error 14: attempt to kill init. It was running fine on version 499.
We are using a Gigatbye 8PE800 motherboard with an Adaptec 2400A RAID card. Have anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,

gtkhtml3 update yet?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Has gtkhtml3/libgtkhtml3 been updated yet? The problem with Evolution
(and my discovered fix) is starting to annoy! yum update isn't showing
anything

selinux-policy-targeted-1.15.11-2 broken?
by Steve G
Hi,
I was testing the latest from rawhide and had another problem during bootup. I
installed just the selinux targeted policy and tried to reboot. The system was
freshly installed with no pre-existing software.
On the way up, I got a message to the effect of "policy requested but not found
and enforcing mode is on". It would be more helpful if the message stated where
it looked for the policy so that I could try to figure out what went wrong.
I did start looking at the spec file and noticed this in the %post script:
if [ -f /etc/selinux/config ]; then
. /etc/selinux/config
else
if [ -f /etc/selinux/config ]; then
SELINUXTYPE=strict
. /etc/sysconfig/selinux
Shouldn't the second 'if' be testing what is sourced later? Looks like a copy &
paste problem to me. I doubt that is my problem, though.
Has anyone else had problems with the latest selinux-policy-targeted ?
Thanks,
-Steve Grubb
