Hello,
Your problem appears to be that someone has installed a number of rpms
that are not normally in the athena release on your private
workstation. At least some of these are causing conflicts with the
newest version of athena, and you will not be able to upgrade until
you resolve these conflicts. the easiest way to do this may be to
remove the rpms on the right side of the list below, take the upgrade
and then re-install the RedHat 7.1 versions of those packages that you
want and don't have.
That said, I can provide some guesses as to why athena 9.0 doesn't
have some of the things that athena 8.4 did:
libbz2, libgd, and libreadline were upgraded to newer versions.
Apparently, the software you currently have installed requires older
version of those libraries. There are almost certainly newer versions
of the software you have that will happlit use the newer versions of
these libraries.
mh is missing because we stopped installing the Red Hat provided mh
package. We still install our own, but it does not claim to provide
'mh'. This is probably something that we can fix, but it may be
easier for you to simply use the version of exmh that the Stident
information Processing Board provides in the sipb locker (just 'add
sipb' before running exmh.)
gnome-libs is a similar situation to mh, in that we have our own
version of this package. However, I'm not sure that having our
package claim to provide gnome-libs will solve all of the problems.
In this case gnuplot is availabel in the gnu locker, rather than the
sipb locker.
expect is the only relevant rpm that we seem to have completely
removed from the release. You'll need to either install this
manually, or simply use exmh out of the sipb locker.
I hope this helps.
