I have exactly the same problem since quite a few versions of up2date! it got me on severn-1 and severn-2 :) Oddly enough, even though I'd already fixed the problem with both of xemacs-el and aspell, after rpm --rebuilddb (long story), xemacs-el came back to the list of candidates for update, but aspell didn't. can folks provide name-version-release info for the package in question when they see these cases? rpm -q xenacs-el for example the `rpm --rebuilddb` is odd. What version of xemacs-el does rpm claim to have installed? $ rpm -q aspell xemacs-el aspell-0.50.3-15 xemacs-el-21.4.14-1 As stated before, these are the packages that shipped with Severn test2, since there haven't been any updates to them. I couldn't duplicate the rpm --rebuilddb problem, but a full install as described in the original bug report is a sure way to duplicate the problem. so, that implies up2date-3.9.29? fixed a couple bugs in 4.0 and 4.0.1, does the same problem occur with 4.0.1 from rawhide? Nope. I got the problem with yesterday's up2date, I just don't know exactly how to duplicate the problem that way. Probably install as described the up2date -u up2date should suffice. Note that FC2 is no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Also, up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup since FC5. FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security issues only. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please reopen and assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it occurs on RHEL 3 or 4, please reassign or refile against that product. The codebase for pirut and pup is quite different, so existing bugs do not apply, but please continue testing them on the still supported versions of Fedora Core and file bugs as necessary. |
