You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
If I install the RPM with rpm instead of yum, everything works find in
apache, but now yum complains about the missing dependency when doing a "yum
update". The workaround for me for now is to uninstall the RPM, do a yum
update, and then reinstall the RPM. Needless to say, this is not ideal. Is
there anything that can be done to fix this or am I doing something wrong?
Are you running an x86_64 system? Does "rpm -q subversion" return two
(seemingly identical) entries? If so, the trouble is that you've got
i386 and an x86_64 subversion packages installed. Try
rpm -q --qf '%{name}-%{version}.%{release}.%{arch}\n' subversion
In that case, you can probably just delete the 32-bit version and then
try the update. (I should say, I've had no difficulties removing the
32-bit packages. There may be good reasons for both to be there, but I
don't know what they are.)
