Dear All, "yum update" has recently started failing on some of my SL50 and SL52 64-bit machines, with the following error message:
Error: Missing Dependency: gcc = 4.1.2 is needed by package apr-devel-1.2.7-11.el5_3.1.x86_64 (sl-security) The machines appear to have gcc 4.1.1 installed. I'm not clear why it hasn't been automatically updated to 4.1.2, unless it is because the computer thinks that version 4.1.1-52.el5.2 which I have is newer than 4.1.2-42.el5 which I should have (i.e. el5.2 vs el5 might be causing confusion). Neither "yum update gcc" nor "yum install gcc" works, so how do I update gcc, or is there an alternative way around the problem of apr-devel not updating? None of my 32-bit SL52 machines have the problem, and all of them have gcc version 4.1.2-42.el5 installed. Eva.
