Dependencies resolved.

Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package vlc-1:3.0.13-1.el7.x86_64
- nothing provides libfluidsynth.so.2()(64bit) needed by vlc-1:3.0.16-1.el7.x86_64
Problem 2: cannot install the best update candidate for package vlc-core-1:3.0.13-1.el7.x86_64
- nothing provides libaom.so.3()(64bit) needed by vlc-core-1:3.0.16-1.el7.x86_64

I ran into this on a CentOS 7 system running zoneminder 1.36.3

zoneminder wouldn't update due to the libfluidsynth dependency problem:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

The solution was to remove vlc and then the update was able to proceed.

Hi, my first posting here, please be gentle

I have the same problem as described above. However, when I try to remove vlc (no package vlc on my box, only vlc-core), it wants to remove zoneminder, zoneminder-common and zoneminder-httpd. Not really a solution...

I run zoneminder on "NethServer" installation, that is build on CentOS 7.
Can someone advice please?

libaom is still under testing.

just do update that way:

yum update --skip-broken

I run CentOS 7 and have vlc-core-3.0.16-1.el7.x86_64 installed, and if I try to remove it then I see the same behaviour as you.

fluidsynth-libs.so.2 is provided by fluidsynth-libs and yum will let me install that without complaint though, by running

Code: Select all

yum install fluidsynth-libs

Is this ok [y/d/N]:

libaom.so.3 is also already installed here and although I don't know what it was that depended on it and brought it in, trying to remove it also wants to remove ZM and vlc-core so I'm guessing that it was probably one of those.


e2a: I can 'yum install vlc' with no broken dependencies or other errors.
