When I do "yum update gmime gmime-sharp" I get:

Error: Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by

But both of these are already installed:

# rpm -q gmime gmime-sharp
gmime-2.2.10-5.el5.centos
gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos

So:

# package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found

Running the above "yum update ..." again yields the same bogus error
messages.  I've had problems with these two packages before.  Why can't
yum understand rpm for them?


Thanks for the wisdom.

Have you tried 'yum cleanall' and then do a yum update?
