[Mono-list] Beta 2 Yum Repo for Fedora Core 2 Problems

[Weiqi Gao]

First of all, thank you for providing the Fedora Core 2 yum repository
of Mono 1.0 Beta2.  Great job!

I'm still seeing the

> Resolving dependencies
> ......Unable to satisfy dependencies
> Package winelib needs wine >= 20040505, this is not available.

error while trying to install Mono 1.0 Beta2 on my Fedora Core 2 machine
using the yum repository at
http://www.go-mono.com/archive/yum-repository/fedora-2-i386/.

As a result I cannot install these packages (everything else installed
fine, and I can run MonoDevelop :)  ):

bytefx-data-mysql
mono-data-postgresql
mono-winforms
wine
wine-devel
winelib

Yum reports the version of wine in the repository as
0.20040505-1.rhfc2.nr.  Maybe it's the extra "0." before the
"20040505-1.rhfc2.nr" that's throwing yum off.  The repository for FC1
does not have this problem.

On a related note, what are the mono-complete and mono-complete-devel
packages?  Just by looking at the name, I assume they are combination
packages that can be installed in lieu of some other package.  Am I
right?

Also, what is the extent to which the mysql and postgresql connectors
are dependent on Wine?  I can live without Wine and WinForms fine, but I
can't live without database support.
