Sorry, hit the enter key too fast before filling out the whole form

Here's the problem. When attempting to apply recently released patches via Software Update to:

python-2.7.5-8.fc19 (32-bit)
python-devel-2.7.5-8.fc19 (32-bit)
python-libs-2.7.5-8.fc19 (32-bit)
python-urlgrabber-3.10-0.fc19
tkinter-2.7.5-8.fc19 (32-bit)

the update fails with the error message:

ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by rhpl-0.218-1.i386
python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by repoman-0.9-5.fc10.noarch
python(abi) = 2.6 is needed by python-psyco-1.6-4.fc12.i686
python(abi) = 2.6 is needed by alchemist-1.0.37-8.fc12.i686
python(abi) = 2.6 is needed by kudzu-1.2.86-2.i686
python(abi) = 2.6 is needed by system-config-display-2.2-1.fc12.i686
python-abi = 2.6 is needed by alchemist-1.0.37-8.fc12.i686


Since all the failed dependencies are on outdated packages, I suspect this is a package build issue.

Comment 2 Thomas Spura 2013-10-24 07:05:59 UTC

It seems those packages were orphaned and with updating to newer versions of Fedora, they are not cleaned up.

Could you verify this with:
# package-cleanup --orphans 

For further information see here:

Comment 3 wayspataol 2013-10-24 22:31:56 UTC

Thomas-

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Yes, those 7 packages (along with almost 100 others, some dating back to fc9 -- I've had this install up for a *while*...) are reported by package-cleanup --orphans. Sorry if this a naive question but is the remedy to uninstall the orphans with yum remove?

Comment 4 Thomas Spura 2013-10-25 07:05:20 UTC

You could use:

yum remove $(package-cleanup --orphans | grep -v "Loaded plugins")

Other than that, I guess you need to clean them up manually.

Comment 5 wayspataol 2013-10-28 12:19:28 UTC

Orphaned package cleanup did solve my problem.

Thank you for your assistance.
