Has anyone else had problems with a recent yum download with libpurple on an X64 machine?
Anyone;s help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help!!!
Sorry about X64 what I really should have written is that the OS is CentOS-5.0-x86_64-bin-DVD. My thought is that there may be a repository problem in that I have not tried to install anything out of the ordinary other than software related to the repositories I listed.
If I try to do a yum install libmeanwhile I get a "Nothing to do" response from yum. but locate does not find any references to libmeanwhile.
If I try to do a yum -y install I get : Error: Missing Dependency: libmeanwhile.so.1 is needed by package libpurple
This causes me to think that their may be a dependency problem in the repositories for x86_64 operating systems.
Does this sound reasonable or are their other things I might need to do on my end?

yes, this is mostly the fallout from bad packaging at redhat's end. what you need to do is perhaps a 'yum clean all; yum --obsoletes update' that should find pidgin and its dep chain.

If you look, you're pulling meanwhile from the rpmforge repo, and the other stuff from the base/updates repos for centos.

Nope. Mostly you're pulling different versions from different repositories.

you might try excluding the package from one of the repositories.

Thanks for your help... and thanks to Karanbir Singh as well.
After I did a "yum clean all" I followed it with a yum --obsoletes update and continued to receive the same error of not finding libmeanwhile.
I removed the rpmforge depo and performed another yum clean all followed by yum -y update and everything downloaded without error.
Have others had difficulty with rpmforge? Is there a way within yum to keep it active, but to give it a priority as secondary to the normal CentOS repositories?
Thanks again for your help!!!!

Are you using the yum-fastestmirror and yum-priorities plugins (I highly recommend both)?

I removed RPMforge and these are what is left.
Loading "skip-broken" plugin Loading "changelog" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "allowdowngrade" plugin Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "downloadonly" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "tsflags" plugin Loading "protectbase" plugin Loading "fedorakmod" plugin Loading "kernel-module" plugin
Does the priorities plugin give the CentOS repositories priority over RPMforge?

Yes it does (when configured)
See:

(You probably don't need all those plugins ... and you do nt want both protectbase and priorities installed at the same time)

Thank you for the link... very informative!!!!!! Is the reason not to have both protectbase and priority installed at the same time related to the obvious that they do similar things?

Can we maybe deliver working yum config files that automatically are fine for the CentOS + RPMforge case when the priority plugin is enabled.
Much like we did with the protectbase plugin.
CentOS would be priority 1, CentOS Extras priority 2 and CentOS Plus priority 3 and RPMforge and others) priority 5 or 10 or whatever (priorityless ?).
Giving Extras something else than 1 would make sure that a human error in Extras would not lead to anything that is hard to turn back. (read: manually)
Making things easier to protect CentOS users (by default) should be our main focus. If people have problems nevertheless, we can assume they knew what they were doing when they changed the default case.

I'd actually vote to make CentOS's main repos start at 2, so that we can use priority 1 for local repos without having to reconfigure all the base .repo files. I currently let puppet do that for me, so it's not a big deal, but I thought I'd throw it out there for consideration.

Hi Dag,

We need to look at the situation that was created recently, when a new package that yum has never seen before dropped into the [updates] but isnt in [base].
afaict, some of the confusion in protectbase / priorities has been due to this.

i just did this for S&G's and this is what i came up with: meanwhile.x86_64 0.5.0-1.el4.kb kbs-CentOS-Extra Matched from: /usr/lib64/libmeanwhile.so.0 /usr/lib64/libmeanwhile.so.0.0.0 libmeanwhile.so.0()(64bit)
but did not see any .1 libs? so i do not think you are losing your mind yet :-)
