[WBEL-users] Possible dependencie problem

[pedro cañadilla]

Hi all,

While I was installing the last updates, I got an error message
concerned with the librsvg2 package:

[root@localhost root]# yum -C -y update

I had a problem with the librsvg2 update and it has caused an
incosistence with the rpm database dependency control!! :-|

After I was looking for the the problem (rpm -q --scripts librsvg2,
checking the arch of the gtk2 package (i386), etc...), I did a
symbolic link:

[root@localhost packages]# cd /etc/gtk-2.0/
[root@localhost gtk-2.0]# ln -s i686-redhat-linux-gnu/ i386-redhat-linux-gnu

and later, I ran the following command:

[root@localhost gtk-2.0]# rpm -Uvh --force
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/librsvg2-2.2.3-6.i386.rpm

Finally, after that command, the rpm -Va --nofiles is correct.

I don't know if this is a general problem or only a problem of mine,
but I hope that if someone has this problem, this workaround wil fix
it till a more professional help comes ;-) (thanks to all the people
that makes WhiteBox possible and help us with our problems).

Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Pedro Cañadilla.
