This isn't an exclusion failure - the installed deps are causing the problem. run yum upgrade and let it obsolete XFree86* for xorg-x11 I might buy that, but the command line "clearly" wants yum to exclude any and all XFree86. It didn't, and it didn't complain about installed dependencies. Maybe the bug should read that YUM diagnostic messages have no relation to what is really the problem? |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: The problem is that '*' should match even zero characters... Here's the example... [root@snowwhite rds]# yum --exclude 'XFree86*' update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1.90 - Development Tree Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies ..Package XFree86 needs XFree86-xfs that has been excluded. Package XFree86 needs XFree86-libs that has been excluded. Package XFree86-twm needs XFree86-libs that has been excluded. Package XFree86-devel needs XFree86-libs that has been excluded. 'XFree86*' should have matched 'XFree86' as well as the other packages. - it would on a shell wildcard expansion. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.0.6-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install FC2 test 1 with everything option 2. yum --exclude 'XFree86*' update 3. Actual Results: The wild card expansion of 'XFree86*' failed to match 'XFree86' Expected Results: The 'XFree86' pqackage should also have been excluded. Additional info:
