Poking at yum 2.1.13

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Did a fresh install of FC3, ran updates with standard FC3 base and
updates-released repos successfully, then added my favorite 3rd party
repos (dag, freshrpms, gstreamer, atrpms-stable, newrpms, local,
macromedia.mplug.org) and tried to update again.  Got numerous
seemingly-bogus conflicts, so decided to give yum-2.1.13 from rawhide a
shot at it.  Grabbed the SRPM and rebuilt from source for FC3.  Things
improved considerably after upgrade to rawhide yum-2.1.13 - far fewer
conflicts reported - but yum still tried to install two versions of
opensp.  Tried to force just the opensp package with

# yum install opensp

And that completed OK.  Then tried again and yum wanted to "update"
opensp to a version older than the installed one. ...

# yum upgrade
... several KB  of output/errors deleted ...
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Check Error:   package opensp-1.5.1-9.rhfc3.at (which is newer than opensp-1.5-0_6.1.rhfc3.at) is already installed

Then tried

# yum --exclude=opensp upgrade

and that allowed the upgrade to complete.  Then

# yum upgrade

returned with no further packages to upgrade.

Have captured the logs of the entire process but they're a bit long to
include here.

# ll -rt yum.*

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 73307 Feb  1 18:08 yum.err2    # New yum
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  3108 Feb  1 18:12 yum.kludge1 # install
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 65588 Feb  1 18:17 yum.err3    # upgrade
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 84989 Feb  1 18:31 yum.kludge2 # exclude
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1932 Feb  1 18:33 yum.ok      # success

Not sure it this should go in Fedora, ATrpms, or yum bugzilla; or just
be written off as another inter-repo dependency glitch.  Any advice on
where to go with it appreciated.
