PackageKit bug?

hi,

The package kit update seems to be currently broken.. It gives you an unresolvable dependancy error..

Here’s a workaround for people who wish to update.. Add the –exclude=*PackageKit* tag to ignore PackageKit

Here’s the discussion page on fedoraforum.org : http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206797

Also, for those who use amarok without installing KDE,

yum install amarok xin-lib-extras-freeworld

dint work for me., After seeking help on the forum, i was asked to install all gstreamer packages..

yum install gstreamer*

it works now..

  1. First do the following below and record your installed packages *I HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED……..

    [brandon@localhost ~]$ yum list installed | grep packagekit
    Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
    gnome-packagekit.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    kpackagekit.i386 0.3.1-9.fc10 installed

    [brandon@localhost ~]$ yum list installed | grep PackageKit
    PackageKit.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    PackageKit-glib.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    PackageKit-qt.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    PackageKit-udev-helper.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    PackageKit-yum.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    PackageKit-yum-plugin.i386 0.3.12-1.fc10 installed
    [brandon@localhost ~]$

    next to the link provided below and download the corresponding packages that match up with what is already installed.

    http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=7

    go in to terminal sign in as the root

    yum remove PackageKit

    type cd //

    then

    yum install packagekit-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-udev-helper-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm (and all other packages that you download) –nogpgcheck

    if you have both KDE and Gnome Installed like me then just copy and paste these if you have downloaded the corresponding packages

    yum install gnome-packagekit-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm kpackagekit-0.3.1-9.fc10.src.rpm PackageKit-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-glib-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-qt-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-udev-helper-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-yum-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.3.12-1.fc10.i386.rpm –nogpgcheck

    Yes I do not have a 64 bit processor for those of you with a 64 bit you will need to adjust the instructions just a tiny bit

    Thank you Mr.Richard Hughes for proving packages for the solution

  4. Once the mirrors have been updated..

    yum remove gnome-packagekit
    yum clean all
    yum install gnome-packagekit

    this will fix it..

  5. yum remove gnome-packagekit
    yum update
    yum install gnome-packagekit

    would be better.. but the above should also do it..
