Re: New topic -- Emacs

[taozhijiang]

I just want to make it more powerful, and more easy to use.
We all know Emacs is greate, and can be costomized by everyone 
on their own mind.

Maybe my words are improper, sorry but glad to talk with you ;-)

missing update to boost-devel.i686

[Konstantin Olchanski]

Hi, there! Nightly updates of SL6.4 are bombing because of missing 
boost-devel.i686 update in fastbugs:

-- Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: boost-devel-1.41.0-17.el6_4.i686 (@triumfcs-mirror-sl-fastbugs)
   Requires: boost = 1.41.0-17.el6_4
   Removing: boost-1.41.0-17.el6_4.x86_64 (@triumfcs-mirror-sl-fastbugs)
   boost = 1.41.0-17.el6_4
   Updated By: boost-1.41.0-18.el6.x86_64 (triumfcs-mirror-sl-fastbugs)
   boost = 1.41.0-18.el6
   Available: boost-1.41.0-11.el6_1.2.x86_64 (sl)
   boost = 1.41.0-11.el6_1.2
   Available: boost-1.41.0-15.el6_4.x86_64 (sl-security)
   boost = 1.41.0-15.el6_4
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Indeed, the update -devel.i686 is absent:

[root@titan01 ~]# yum list boost-devel boost-devel.i686
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security
Installed Packages

Available Packages

 triumfcs-mirror-sl-fastbugs 
[root@titan01 ~]# 


P.S. Time to renew my eternal complaint - 

?!?WHY DO BUSTED UPDATES TO SOME JUNK PACKAGE BLOCK ALL SECURITY UPDATES?!?

Why can't they fix it already now (in yum, in yum-autoupdate, etc)?

(The CERN version of yum-autoupdate does not block security updates).


P.P.S. Yes, right, there was this bike accident a while back, so maybe no fix 
in yum. RIP.

Just a note to say that the latest (and only) boost-devel.i686
available for RHEL-6 x86_64 is 1.41.0-11.el6. Not sure how this should
be best handled by SL though.

Possible workaround:

Add to yum.conf

  skip_broken = 1

(possibly after cloning it and changing CONFIGFILE in sysconfig)
