this is caused by the perl-NDBM_File not being removed on an upgrade from RH7.x to RH8 or RH9. The solution is to rpm -e perl-NDBM_File by hand; up2date should then work. Ah. Yes, removing the perl-NDBM_File rpm did allow the up2date to work. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: up2date -u fails with the following message: Unresolvable chain of dependencies: perl-5.8.0-88.3 requires perl-NDBM_File <= 1:1.75-34.99.6 # rpm -q perl-NDBM_File perl-NDBM_File-1.75-34.99.6 Apparently a "1:" got prefixed to the require string in the perl spec file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.0-88.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.up2date -u 2. 3. Actual Results: Fetching package list for channel: redhat-linux-i386-9... ######################################## Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: redhat-linux-i386-9... ######################################## Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... There was a package dependency problem. The message was: Unresolvable chain of dependencies: perl-5.8.0-88.3 requires perl-NDBM_File <= 1:1.75-34.99.6 Expected Results: The updated perl packages should have been installed. Additional info: perl-5.8.0-88.3 was released to fix a security bug -- that makes this a security problem.
