For some time now, my CentOS box has been skipping the update of exiv2.
Yesterday I decided to do something about it, so I removed gwenview, digikam,
exiv2 and libexiv2. I then reinstalled gwenview and digikam, which of course
pulled in the two exiv2 packages. The version of exiv2 looked surprisingly
familiar, but I assumed that the install would pull in the latest, so I
shouldn't worry. This morning more updates were announced, and I found that
once again exiv2 was being skipped.
I have put a diagnostic file onto http://filebin.ca/swaoqf/centos2.txt - I
hope someone here will be able to tell me what is going wrong and what I can
do about it. Thanks
I haven't checked your log file but I'm guessing you have both rpmforge
and epel active...
digikam is not in rpmforge, I suspect you're getting it from epel along
with the exiv2 dep, which is perhaps a lower version than the rpmforge
exiv2?
In this case skipping the newer rpmforge exiv2 when updating is expected
and normal (assuming digikam requires the older epel exiv2).
Please take this as constructive criticism: you should really try to
post relevant info in your emails, eg you don't even state what centos
version you use, much less the various exiv2/digikam/whatever versions
you're talking about - which would have been good enough to tell us what
repo a package comes from, as long as the repo respects users and
community members enough to use a repotag. You would certainly get more
useful answers, people don't like to have to guess what your situation
is and clicking on a link to a huge log file should only be a last resort.
