Summary: yum breaks dependecies on upgrade (perl no-longer self-provides libperl.so) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240540 ------- Additional Comments From gregory.douglas@xxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-08-11 19:45 EST ------- (In reply to comment #22) > I tried to reproduce this again. This time I downgraded yum and > yum-metadata-resolver to the versions distributed with FC6 and tried again, but > yum has correctly found that perl-libs has to be installed. > > Greg, was your FC6 updated? Or did you started from the original install of FC6? > What were the versions of yum and yum-metatada-parser before the upgrade? My FC6 was updated just before migrating to FC7 a couple of weeks ago. Not certain exact yum versions in FC6, but yum was at the most recent FC6 version as of the end of July 2007. I did a network update to FC7, since I do not have a DVD drive. After the upgrade to FC7, I had to replace my old yum.conf and fedora-updates.repo to newer files with the extension "rpmnew". This opened the door to many new FC7 updates, but did not resolve the perl dependency problem. I also tried to remove perl and ignore dependencies (rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps perl) and then reinstall perl (yum install perl). But again, the dependencies were ignored. Therefore I just manually installed them after learning they were missing. Hope this helps. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
