Setup & Installation / Re: using yum
« on: April 07, 2016, 05:19:10 pm »
There is an issue on the yum/rpm wiki regarding Platform selection.
I need to use platform selection in order to install Firefox 38. One library, pango, is only available built for 686. So I need to use platform selection to get pango. However, then the rest of my system is inconsistent and I get quite a few errors from yum about that.
The errors persist until I issue a yum reinstall * command. If this is how it's supposed to operate, then a note to reinstall everything after platform selection would be good.
Of course my original error still appears, and yum reports failure for all operations, even though they appear to work.
