Hi all,

I suspect there is a bug? Could you look at the output of 'yum install
track'?


The mikmod that shipped with FC6 had an explicit obsolete statement for tracker.
rpm  -q --obsoletes -p mikmod-3.1.6-38.1.i386.rpm
tracker

The mikmod released as an update no longer carries the obsolete
rpm -q --changelog mikmod
* Thu Nov 09 2006 Martin Stransky <stransky@xxxxxxxxxx> - 3.1.6-39
- removed obsoletes on tracker (#214112)

The workaround is to use:
yum --disablerepo=core install tracker

or set obsoletes=0  in the yum.conf

Technically... the bug has been fixed, the latest mikmod packages no
longer obsolete 'tracker'.  But because of the way obsoletes work it
still causes problems. There is no automatic way to override a
specific obsolete, you have to disable the calculation of obseletes in
some fashion.
