How to resolve this?
You should ask this on repoforge/rpmforge mailing lists..
Thanks, Lucien. This package is from the extras repo. Does that make a difference?
Also, I understand what you're saying. But (and this is not to you in particular, rather to "the system") rather than having to join yet another mailing list just to report a problem... and then send an email to everyone on that list, why couldn't the package give an email address like bugs@[whatever_repo] to send a report to.
The package you are having a problem with has a .rf in the name ... that means it is a package from the repoforge repo.
You might make sure the rpms are installed properly so that the rpm database knows it exists (and it is not orphaned at the location). What does this return:
rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.27
also, download the file xerces-c-2.8.0-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm what does this say:
rpm -qpl xerces-c-2.8.0-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm
It would seem that xerces-c-2.8.0-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm is going to upgrade the library to /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28 to me.
This is going to cause an issue with that repoforge package. You can use exclude= for the extras repo, ask repoforge to rebuild the package against the new version, or probably force install the rpm and symlink /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28 to /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.27 and see if it works.
I'm getting this too, without the .rf
like this:
# yum update xerces-c Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

OK ... let me look at fixing it now :D
That package (xerces-c-2.7.0-8.el5) is in epel ... BUT ... I have moved the CentOS package from extras to centosplus which should greatly limit it trying to be installed.
It the updates are going to the mirrors now.
