failed update, fglrx conflict with ati

wet · 02-26-2008, 11:31 AM

hey there

just tried to update my fedora box (unused for a long time). yum lists loads of packages and then quits with:

Code:

--> Processing Conflict: ati-x11-drv conflicts xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: ati-x11-drv conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-fglrx

since im not using the ati drivers, i tried to remove them: ('yum erase ati-x11-drv'):

Code:

No Match for argument: ati-x11-drv
No Packages marked for removal/

so.. how the hell can it be causing a conflict?

my guess is 'yum update' tries to install ati-x11-drv and then update fglrx, causing the conflict?

here's the whole yum update output (so you can track packages, if that helps)

Code:

Does the graphics card work ok at present?

If so just add fglrx and the x11 drv to yums exclude list.

The reason you are having the problem is maybe because the x11 drv is required as a dependency for something else and is clashing with the fglrx version. Wait a couple of weeks and it will probably solve itself.

If not

Code:

rpm - qa | grep ati-x11-drv*

then

Code:

rpm -e --nodeps ati-x11-drv.i386 0:8.40.4-2.fc7

Which will probably break something.

Quick question. You arent using Freshrpms and Livna at the same time?

SilentSam · 02-27-2008, 03:52 AM

I had a similar update issue. I think the Livna repo updated one of the packages too early, and a resulting dependency wasn't available yet, so you get the error. I just excluded the problem packages that update, and the issue resolved itself at a later date.

Oh shoot.

Fixed, thanks to both of you for your replies.
