[Yum] inter-dependancy hell!

Fri May 13 22:32:20 UTC 2005

Sorry, about some of those "tests" at the bottom, getting a bit late at
night.  Here's something more meaningful:

[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides libgtop-2.0.so.2
libgtop2-2.5.2-2
[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$ rpm -q libgtop2-2.5.2-2
libgtop2-2.5.2-2
[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$

But,
Error: Missing Dependency: libgtop-2.0.so.2 is needed by package
synce-trayicon

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Morgan.
