Description Daniel A. Veiga 2013-10-19 00:03:56 UTC

Description of problem:
when running yum to update deps are resolved, packages downloaded. When about to start updating this error is shown and the operation canceled:

Downloading Packages:
Running Transaction Check
ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
sysvinit-tools < 0:2.88-14 conflicts with procps-ng-3.3.8-16.fc21.x86_64
sysvinit-tools < 2.88-14 conflicts with util-linux-2.24-0.1.fc21.x86_64
Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=yum
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Your transaction was saved, rerun it with:
 yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2013-10-18.20-55.49j4to.yumtx

The problem is easy to reproduce, happens every time "yum update" is run.

Comment 1 Jan Zeleny 2013-10-21 07:15:58 UTC

This is not a bug in yum. It just reports you a problem in your system installation. Uninstalling one of the conflicting packages (for each conflict) should help.

Comment 2 Jakub Filak 2013-11-04 10:33:14 UTC

It seems to me that this bug is caused by these two lines from procps-ng.spec:

Conflicts: sysvinit-tools < 0:2.88-14
Obsoletes: sysvinit-tools > 0:2.88-14

I have installed sysvinit-tools 0:2.88-13.dsf and when I run 'yum update sysvinit-tools' I get this output:

Comment 3 Jakub Filak 2013-11-04 12:26:12 UTC

The following sequence of commands fixes this issue for me:

$ yum update sysvinit-tools --exclude procps-ng
$ yum update

Comment 4 Daniel A. Veiga 2013-11-08 22:14:23 UTC

Thanks for your reply. I don't remember how I fixed if, but I already did it the same day I reported the bug. I didn't really reported it to get help, but as a courtesy to the person who asked for it to be reported. I agree it's a database problem, not a yum problem. But that error in the dependency database may be solved, and I hope this helps...
Thanks.
