Having a real annoying problem trying to update my laptop. When I do an
urpmi --auto-select, I just get a list as long as your arm of
dependencies on bits of XFree86-libs that would be broken, here's a
sample:
libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) gtkhtml3.0-3.0.2-2mdk
libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) libgimp14-1.3.14-2mdk
libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) gimp1_3-1.3.14-2mdk
libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) XFree86-4.3-8mdk
Etc etc etc. There's over five hundred lines of that, but what it
DOESN'T tell me is what I need to know, i.e., what it is that's trying
to uninstall XFree86-libs (which is what I presume the problem is).
Since it needs to update a lot of packages, going through them
individually the find the one that's causing the problem would be a lot
of effort on my part, which is irritating. a), does anyone have any
ideas what could be causing this, and b), it seems to make the case for
some improvement to urpmi output...
