libjson.so.0()(64bit) breaks yum update on Fedora 16

Problem

When running yum update, the following dependency error displays:

Running Transaction Check

ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:

libjson.so.0()(64bit) is needed by libreport-plugin-bodhi-2.0.10-3.fc16.x86_64

Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=yum

** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

libreport-plugin-bodhi-2.0.8-4.fc16.x86_64 has missing requires of libjson.so.0()(64bit)

The problem is that the libjson package name does not exist on Fedora 16.

Solution

A check on http://pkgs.org reveals the package you need to install is json-c-0.9-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm


This package is part of the libreport-plugin-bodhi package dependencies.

1. Execute (as root):
   # yum install json-c-0.9-2.fc15.x86_64 
2. Once installed, execute:
   # yum update
3. The main yum update will proceed without issue.
