    Question Script Dependency Issue

    Hi all,

    Have a CentOS 5.3 VPS. Trying to install KDE using Yum.

    Get following error:

    Error: Missing Dependency: cups-libs = 1:1.3.7-8.el5 is needed by package 1:cups-1.3.7-8.el5.x86_64 (base)

    Any ideas? I tried using Yum to install both "cups-1.3.7-8.el5" entries in the search but they are already installed.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the assistance.

    When I run the commands, I get the message "already installed" for both RPMs you linked to.

    When I repeat the KDE installation after that, I still get the same error saying it is missing.

    Bizarre!

    Thanks for your effort though.

    Try reinstaling these packages:

    rpm -e cups cups-libs

    yum clean all

    yum install cups cups-libs

    Thanks.

    When I put in the command (because the one you specified gives a "specifies multiple packages" error):

    rpm --erase --allmatches cups-libs

    I get the following error:

    I know I can force remove by using the --nodeps option, but I just wanted to check with you to make sure that if I force remove, following through on your earlier instructions with the reinstall won't break anything?

    Of perhaps of that list above, maybe you can specify exactly which packages to remove?

    Thanks again for your help!
