| I am trying to update fedora core 4 with yum but keep getting this error
Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/bin/gst-register-0.8 is needed by
package gstreamer-plugins
now I have /usr/bin/gst-register-0.8 but that doesn't seem to matter and
I also tried the --exclude= option and that doesn't work.
what do I need to do to get past this.
This is what I have installed:
gstreamer-tools-0.8.11-1.1.fc4.nr
gstreamer-devel-0.8.11-1.1.fc4.nr
gstreamer-0.8.11-1.1.fc4.nr
gstreamer-plugins-devel-0.8.11-1.1.fc4.nr
gstreamer-plugins-0.8.11-1.1.fc4.nr
thanks

This seems to be unofficial RPMs, the latest version for FC4 is 0.8.12-1 and
the previous one is 0.8.10-1.
'--exclude' option makes RPM to install without a program, this will in your
case make the installation even more unstable, you should use '--force
--nodeps' options.
Avoid to use '-i' option, do use '-Uvh', as you want to upgrade and not dubble
install packages (this breaks things even more).
Last, use the official packages.

| Thanks for the info but still no joy. It looks like my only option here
is to remove all the gstreamer rpm's. I'm not even sure how they got
installed. I don't use them to my knowledge.
I believe these are used with gnome and I don't use gnome but kde. I
can see this is going to be fun...........

gstreamer is rather common. I believe I have it installed on this KDE-only
SuSE box. I can't recall what it was needed for. I suggest you
install/update that package in isolation or ignore "system inconsistencies"
warnings. I can often do so in YaST as I don't have access to the
installation CD's.
Best wishes,
Roy

| Hi,
Well I got past the gstreamer problem. I forgot I had apt-get
installed and ran that but now I have a bigger problem.
While running apt-get or even yum at this point I run accross this
error: There are multiple versions of "librsvg2" in your system.
Now when I try to remove or update it I get the following:
Committing changes...
Preparing... ########################################
###
[100%]
/usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders: line 27:
/etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders: No such file or
directory
error: %postun(librsvg2-2.9.5-2.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
Now this one is one I haven't been able to get past whether I try to
update the file or remove it. So I am literally stuck in limbo now.

Philip,
I had this too in the past, so I made the directory.
In your case:
mkdir -p /etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/
and created the file by touch:
touch /etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
And tried the rpm -e again.
For me it worked.
Kind regards,
Jan Gerrit Kootstra

Hi,
Thank you. That did the trick. You just saved me a reload. The
updates are going without a problem now.
Again thanks to all who helped get me going again..
