   Everytime I do a:

   # yum install -y rpm-devel.i686

   I get the error message

   Transaction Check Error:
   package sqlite-3.6.22-1.fc13.x86_64 (which is newer than sqlite-3.6.20-1.fc12.i686) is already installed

   What can I do about this?

   Thanks in advance. Great tutorial by the way.

     Hi Dre,

     It seems that you are using Rawhide (Fedora 13, fc13) repository for sqlite.x86_64 package.

     So install rpm-devel.i686 from rawhide repository, using following command:

     yum --enablerepo=rawhide install rpm-devel.i686

     Maybe this will solve the problem?

     Glad to hear you liked this tutorial.

       Hi. Thanks for the help. I tried the command but there was another error:

       –> Finished Dependency Resolution
       Error: Package: abrt-1.0.8-2.fc12.x86_64 (@updates)
       Requires: librpm.so.0()(64bit)
       Removing: rpm-libs-4.7.2-1.fc12.x86_64 (@updates)
       Available: rpm-libs-4.7.1-6.fc12.x86_64 (fedora)

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

       I tried the “–skip-broken” command and it installed some stuff. I tried installing Adobe Air 1.5 but I got this error:

       Error loading the runtime (libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

       With that not working I then downloaded and installed Adobe Air beta 2 w/o a problem. I also downloaded the Tweetdeck air file and tried installing using Adobe Air beta 2 but nothing happens.

         One possible workaround is simply remove abrt (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool) package and try again.

         yum remove abrt

         You can install abrt back (later), simply with following command:

         yum install abrt

         Missing libnss3.so indicates that nss-devel.i686 packages is missing. You can’t get Adobe AIR 1.5 or 2.0 probably working properly if some of following packages are not installed successfully:

         yum install ld-linux.so.2 gtk2-devel.i686 libdbus-glib-1.so.2 \ libhal.so.1 rpm-devel.i686 libXt.so.6 gnome-keyring-devel.i686 \ libDCOP.so.4 libxml2-devel.i686 nss-devel.i686 libxslt.i686 xterm

           Woohoo!!! It worked.

           Am now a happy laptop owner using Fedora 12 64bit with Adobe Air and Tweedeck.

           Thanks a heap, man!

           Oh, yeah. I encountered another problem. When I try to install abrt I get this error messsage again:

           –> Finished Dependency Resolution

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

           Aside from that. Everything works great.

             Nice to hear that you get Adobe AIR and TweetDeck working… ;)

             Then the abrt problem, please post output what following command shows:

             yum info rpm-libs

               Hi. Thanks for the help. All things are working.

               I used some of your articles in posting a guide to getting Fedora 12 working for Dell Studio XPS 16.

     Hi El1iP3S01D,

     I updated this guide to work also with Fedora 13 – x86_64 and I get Adobe AIR 2 RC and TweetDeck (as example) easily work with Fedora 13 – x86_64.
     

     If you can’t get it working, please post more specific information about the errors and problems here?

   Thanks for a very informative article. I first attempted to install Air 1.5, but ran into the problem with the Air-installer requesting gnome-keyring or kwallet. I couldn’t find a proper workaround for this – so eventually I opted to try Air 2.0 BETA. It worked immediately on my Fedora 13 system!

     Hi Carl Martin,

     Nice to hear that you get it working. :)

     I believe that the Adobe Air 2.0 is in many case a better choice than the Adobe Air 1.5.

   Am I going crazy or are the code instructions for to “Install Fedora 12…” and “Install Fedora 13…” identical? Are they supposed to be?

     Hi russ,

     Yes, they are the same, but you should take into account the point If These packages do Not install, then try the following:. Did you try it?

     Or what is your problem?

       Hi JR, thanks for the reply.

       Following the directions to “Install Fedora 12″ worked; the packages installed. When I entered the bash again (this time for “Install Fedora 13″ instructions) it returned that the packages were already installed and “Nothing to do”. I was expecting it to do something since the directions said to enter it again. I assumed that it failed. Was I wrong, did it succeed?

       I attempted the “If packages do not install…” instructions, but get the message, “-bash: [updates-f13-i386] command not found”

       Any thoughts?

         Hi again russ,

         If you got all the following packages installed:

         yum install ld-linux.so.2 gtk2-devel.i686 libdbus-glib-1.so.2 \ libhal.so.1 rpm-devel.i686 libXt.so.6 gnome-keyring-devel.i686 \ libDCOP.so.4 libxml2-devel.i686 nss-devel.i686 libxslt.i686 xterm

         Then it succeed!

         And then you can continue the installation normally.

   With Centos 5.5 x86_64 you get this:

   Error loading the runtime (/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7′ not found (required by /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libcurl.so))
