Centos 6 x2go dependancy issues when trying to run yum update

Question

I have tried to update x2goserver to the latest version on my CentOS server however I am getting a dependency issues now.

From what I can tell it is looking for xorg-x11-fonts-core package. This appears to not be part of CentOS 6 and only OpenSuse. Has anyone else had this issue? Do you think it is a bug with the latest RPM's or is there anything I can do to resolve the issue? x2go does not have a forum so I thought I would post here

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

Something is wrong with your locally cached copy of the repository metadata:

X11_RemoteDesktop_x2go                                                                                                                | 1.3 kB     00:00
Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:
  Current   : Tue Feb 26 11:43:35 2013
  Downloaded: Thu Feb 21 18:44:54 2013

When I went to inspect the original, I found it indeed did have a date of Feb 21. Where you got the cached file you have, I could not begin to say.

To resolve the issue, clear your yum cache.

yum clean all

Tried this still didn't work. however the message 'Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:' has gone now — dgibbs, Feb 26 '13 at 15:05

You are right, it fails. I forced install but after that it did not work. I also tried to rebuild the SRPM but somehow it still has that dependancy. I see they fixed SLES 11 so hopefully RHEL 6 will follow soon. Thanks for the update.

While he may need to update his yum cache, it has nothing to do with his error: Error: Package: nxagent-3.5.0.17-4.1.i686 (X11_RemoteDesktop_x2go) Requires: xorg-x11-fonts-core

I am seeing the same thing on my Scientific Linux 6 systems:

They have added a requirement for xorg-x11-fonts-core package to the RedHat rpms, yet that package is an OpenSuse package that doesn't not exist in RedHat 6 or it's derivatives.

Yes I think this is the exact problem. I im guessing there isn't much I can do until the developers fix this dependency issue for Red Hat 6. Hopefully they realise this quickly. Is there anything I can do in the mean time? — dgibbs, Feb 26 '13 at 20:19
X2go team are now aware of the issue. Hopfully they will update the rpm repo soon http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel/4824 — dgibbs, Feb 28 '13 at 11:30

that's right. Package xorg-x11-fonts-core does not exist on RHEL , CentOS SL. I tried to create a bug report, which is done by a mailing list (argh!). You could try to the same, more info here: http://bugs.x2go.org/

Please do so and follow the instructions, it will probably be fixed soon after.

I did this to work around the problem: yum install libXcomp3 libXcompext3 libXcompshad3 nxagent --skip-broken and then yum update . It only shows nxagent as not updateable then. You might force it, but I did not do that.

Tried this however even with --skip-broken it doesn't work. there has been an update to nxagent for all but RHEL 6 x64 version. I have highlighted this. Looks like they have seen the issue after i hightlighted it http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel/4929. Hopefully a fix for x64 soon – dgibbs Mar 06 '13 at 23:43
