CentOS - Mar 2012 - Dependency issues when running yum update

Hi All,

Am getting this:

---> Package xulrunner.i686 0:1.9.2.26-2.el6.centos will be updated
--> Processing Dependency: libmozjs.so for package:
gxine-0.5.905-1.el6.rf.i686
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: gxine-0.5.905-1.el6.rf.i686 (@rpmforge)
           Requires: libmozjs.so
           Removing: xulrunner-1.9.2.26-2.el6.centos.i686 (@updates)
               libmozjs.so
           Updated By: xulrunner-10.0.1-2.el6.centos.i686 (updates)
               Not found
           Available: xulrunner-1.9.2.24-2.el6.centos.1.i686 (base)
               libmozjs.so
           Available: xulrunner-1.9.2.26-1.el6.centos.i686 (updates)
               libmozjs.so
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Running the --skip-broken gets me updated but the problem is still
there.  Would anyone have an idea as to how to fix this, please?

Thank you,

Phil

Not trying to be a smart aleck here, but the problem isn't with CentOS, but
with a third-party package; you may want to ask on an RPMforge list about an
update to gxine, which is not a CentOS package, but an RPMforge package.  More
than likely, with the historically great responsiveness of the RPMforge
maintainers (especially Dag) this will be fixed shortly, since the same thing
will impact any EL6 rebuild and upstream EL6 itself.  So try again later, or run
the update with --disablerepo=rpmforge

Hi

Have you configured Priorities?
I've mainly found these sorts of issues to be related with priorities 
not configured - may not be your case, but I would double check anyway.

Some more info here if you are not aware: 
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

In this specific case, and while this isn't the RPMforge list, but, anyway,
it appears that the update of xulrunner (associated with the new Firefox, I
believe) no longer provides some specific library that the rpmforge gxine
package depends upon, and thus yum couldn't do the upgrade of xulrunner
because the new package doesn't seem to provide that dependency any more. I
of course reserve the right to be wrong.

It's not something that can be fixed by CentOS, it will have to be fixed by
rpmforge, as that gxine package will have to be upgraded to use something else
that provides libmozjs.so.  (that's where the 'Not found' under the
xulrunner 10.0.1 package comes from).
