I can also confirm that its impossible to install everything on CentOS-6. That is by design, there are functional overlaps that are enforced at the rpm level that prevent you from doing so.
KB: I assume this was done for some useful purpose, not simply to make sure nobody can install everything if they want to...
Right, its based on duplicate functionality. in some cases ( like sendmail + postfix ) you can indeed install both. But in others, you cant.
back in the RH5/6 days (not RHEL) I used to commonly choose an "everything" installation. now that the distribution is so big I don't even try, anymore.
yeah, and the idea of 'everything' is a bit odd given that you can now include external repos - so you might get an everything install that brings in 12,000 rpms - runs for 3 days to get done - and needs 50GB of disk space :)..
Thanks KB, for the explanation.
I will be more careful this time around.
The missing dependency I was talking about was about :
/quote ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: 1:emacs-23.1-21.el6_2.3.x86_64 has missing requires of libotf.so.0()(64bit) /unquote
I got this error when trying to install scribus
