slysy Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi all, when running the command: yum -y --obsolete update I get the error: Error: Missing Dependency: gtk2 >= 2.6 is needed by package vim-X11 Can anyone help me fix this? I am not very knowledgable with Linux so any help would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted August 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2005 I just got this this morning, too. It looks like a new vim is added, but the newer gtk2 hasn't yet been added into the repositories you use. You can wait a day, and allow time for the newer gtk2 to get added (I assume it is forthcoming soon), or you can manually install a newer gtk2 (I would not recommend this), or you can remove vim-X11 (if you never use it, why have it installed - but I don't know if you use it or not, I think it is just a version of vim for X Windows). yum remove vim-X11 would be the command (and that is what I did, since I wanted to update without waiting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know Im not the only person I feel better about it. I will wait a while and see if this resolves it for now. Wish I had known that yum tip earlier, I had to resort to using up2date and unchecking the update :x . Edit: If you updated to the new KDE today, did you also get the error "Cannot open theme file /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/bluecurve" on bootup?

markwolfe Veteran Posted August 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2005 Sorry. I haven't used KDE in about a year and a half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
