Yum update fails
I see the question of failed dependencies come up on forums quite a bit. Users post errors like:
Missing Dependency: bind-utils = 9.3.4-10.P1.el5_3.1 is needed bind-sdb-9.3.4-10.P1.el5_3.1
or
ImageMagick-perl-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi is needed by package ImageMagick-perl-6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1.x86_64
or
httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.2.x86_64 from updates has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: /usr/share/magic.mime is needed by package httpd-2.2.3-22.el5.centos.2.x86_64 (updates)
In all these cases, the solution is to clean yum:
yum clean all
