Yum update & dependency resolution problem

1

Centos 7.2.1511 x64
Kaltura CE 11.11
rpm install

i try to update server thru yum clean all && yum update command, but got strange:

...
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
...

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

any help on this?

Hi,

This is a known issue that does not relate to Kaltura, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984146

Start by removing all Kaltura packages with:
# yum remove “kaltura” -y
the try:
# yum update
and update all packages including glibc to the latest available.

Then reinstall Kaltura

Hello jess!
i think this is Kaltura rpmbuild problem
i found another bug thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063607
see comments #12 and #13
i think libxvidcore4 (provided by Kaltura) should depend on /sbin/ldconfig and not on /usr/sbin/ldconfig

totally uninstalling, upgrading and reinstalling Kaltura packages - bad way.

Hi,

It is not a Kaltura issue, the libxvidcore4 package is taken from the ATrpms repo as is and is placed in the Kaltura repo to save end users from the need to add that repo. Regardless, different versions of RHEL/CentOS distros place ldconfig in different locations, which is rather stupid but nonetheless true. For instance, on RHEL/CentOS 6, it is under /sbin/ldconfig, whereas, on 7, which is what you have, it is placed under /usr/sbin/ldconfig, further more, it seems the change was made AFTER releasing the first glibc package for RHEL/CentOS 7, glibc is the package that provides the ldconfig util.

Anyhow, to make a long story short, I have now built my own version of this RPM and pushed it to the RHEL7 Kaltura repo. it will probably take a while to sync to all CDN edges but, rather than wait, you could do:
# rpm -Uhv http://installrepo.origin.kaltura.org/repo/releases/rhel7/RPMS/x86_64/libxvidcore4-1.3.2-16.x86_64.rpm

And the continue the installation as normal.

Let me know if you need any further help or run into issues,

Hello @jess
may be remove dep on ldconfig? and retain dep on glibc that contain ldconfig?
no matter whereis ldconfig is (/sbin or /usr/sbin)
/sorry, i’m an ubuntu fan, and do not work with centos since 5.4/

and second think about glibc and updates, i have tried to remove gibc.i686:

Each packaging format has its own conventions, in an RPM spec, it is customary to declare dep on ldconfig in this way.
No point declaring a dep on glibc, since ALL RHEL based distros already include it.
That should be fine now, however, post updating to the package I pushed today.

Also, we DO support both Debian and Ubuntu as well and provide debs for them, if you prefer Ubuntu, why not use that?
Mencoder depends on i686 libs because it has no full port to 64bit. Some of its libs are 32bit only.

@jess Thanks for the detailed answer
about ubuntu - centos it’s “legacy” in my case. not fresh install.

Hi @mihail_karpych,

Not sure what the issue might be. Start by making sure:
# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/ldconfig
returns correctly with the glibc package and version.
If it does, then perhaps try to do:
# yum update glibc
manually to see why it is failing and perhaps report to CentOS, as you can see, the complaint is about updating the glibc package, not a Kalturian one.
