Update probelms

[gasolin]

Trying to update, but seems to get problems many times when i try to update, last i tried to update libmodplug-0.8.8.3-2.el6.x86_64 and got this problem :
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.19-3.el6.rf.x86_64 requires libmodplug.so.0()(64bit) : Success - empty transaction and libmodplug-0.8.8.3-2.el6.x86_64 wasn't updated

What am i gonna do when i get an update(s) and can't install them

Welcome to CentOS.
New users need to read:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=47

Your problem is with an rpmforge package.
Fix your repo priorities per the above referenced documents and manually
fix your dependencies,
If the problem persists, you may need to have rpmforge look at the problem.

It is really difficult to say exactly what the problem is, as you did not provide the full output
of the yum command, nor the output of getinfo.sh as described in the first link.

The ".rf." in the package name indicates a problem with RPMforge/Repoforge. I'd disable all 3rd party repos and update core packages before anything else, then check the ML. Seems a familiar name here has already [url=http://lists.repoforge.org/pipermail/users/2011-July/022331.html]reported the issue[/url]. A forum search might have found a recent [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=32323&forum=56]thread[/url] on the issue as well.

If more help is needed then please review the recommended reading and [url=http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28723&forum=54]provide more information about your system[/url]. The entire output from the yum command and the output file from "./getinfo.sh package" would be a good start.

Edit: I see Gerald beat me to the punch with substantially similar advice while I was off finding links to the issue. :-)

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

You now have two threads going on the same problem.
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32538&forum=56&post_id=139318#forumpost139318
You do NOT have priorities installed and configured,
and have incompatible repos enabled by default.

As indicated in the Repoforge thread and the other CentOS forum topic it seems that Repoforge (AKA RPMforge) needs to fix the issue. You can reply to the [url=http://lists.repoforge.org/pipermail/users/2011-July/022331.html]Repoforge thread[/url] with your experiences.

Have no clue how to solve this problem, but isn't rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de something that should point to a danish url like klid.dk ?

On a danish linux site somebody say that yum search for a debug repository and when it cant find it it stops and when user of centos get's this repository disablet
alls back to normal and nothings wrong. But how do i do that ? disable the bug repository

[pschaff]

It does not appear from your yum output that any debug repository in enabled. The issue is that you have both EPEL and RPMforge enabled and are not using yum-plugin-priorities. The package libmodplug-0.8.8.3-2.el6 form EPEL is later than libmodplug-0.8.7-1.el6.rf but the RPMforge gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.19-3.el6.rf needs the older version. Try[code]yum --disablerepo epel update[/code]
If you don't fix the repo configuration you will continue to have problems.
