Hi!
I'm trying to do a distro-upgrade using yum.
However I'm experiencing a problem replacing a package in the yum shell
transaction:
In F10 openjdk is shipped with the distro. Thus I need to remove
java-1.6.0-sun-compat and jdk, install java-1.6.0-openjdk and upgrade
the system in the same transaction.
I tried the following commands:
-------------------- 8< --------------------
erase java-1.6.0-sun-compat jdk
install java-1.6.0-openjdk
upgrade
-------------------- 8< --------------------
But the upgrade command seems the place java-1.6.0-sun-compat in the
list of packages to upgrade again. Now it is found both in the list of
packages to update and remove!
After upgrade, the transaction set looks like that:
-------------------- 8< --------------------
Installing:
[...]
java-1.6.0-openjdk i386 1:1.6.0.0-7.b12.fc10 fedora-updates
31 M
[...]
Updating:
[...]
java-1.6.0-sun-compat i586 1.6.0.06-1jpp jpackage17-non-free
56 k
Removing:
java-1.6.0-sun-compat i586 1.6.0.02-1jpp installed 3.3 k
jdk i586 2000:1.6.0_02-fcs installed
108 M
-------------------- 8< --------------------
ts solve shows:
-------------------- 8< --------------------
> ts solve
--> Running transaction check

[...]
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: jdk = 2000:1.6.0_06-fcs is needed by package
java-1.6.0-sun-compat
-------------------- 8< --------------------
Placing the erase command after upgrade doesn't change anything.
Is this the expected behavior?
Is there a way to delete a package from the transaction-set?
Cheers,

P.S.: Yes, I've considered removing java and all packages that depend on
java in a separate transaction and add them back after upgrade. But it
would be much easier if replacing the packages could be done in one
transaction without removing all the packages that depend on them.
