Description of problem:
# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora Core release 1.90 (FC2 Test 1)

Running up2date gives me a dependency problem window:

---------------------
There was a package dependency problem.  The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
XFree86-Xnest-4.3.0-55                   requires XFree86 = 4.3.0-55
XFree86-Xvfb-4.3.0-55                    requires XFree86 = 4.3.0-55
XFree86-devel-4.3.0-55                   requires XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-55
XFree86-tools  4.3.0-55                  requires XFree86
XFree86-twm  4.3.0-55                    requires XFree86
XFree86-twm-4.3.0-55                     requires XFree86-libs = 4.3.0-55
XFree86-xdm-4.3.0-55                     requires XFree86 = 4.3.0
balsa  2.0.17-1                          requires libgal-2.0.so.6
balsa  2.0.17-1                          requires libgal-a11y-2.0.so.6
balsa  2.0.17-1                          requires libgtkhtml-3.0.so.4

Please modify your package selections and try again.
----------------------

Unselecting balsa from up2date takes care of balsa, although it
shouldn't have been reported in the first place since this is a
"plain" install.

The XFree86 complaint I can't get rid of, as it doesn't show up as
(un-) selectable in up2date.  Also:

# rpm -q XFree86
XFree86-4.3.0-55

So the dependency is in fact bogus since XFree86 does have the correct
version.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.3.11-2.1.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run up2date
2. optionally un-select balsa
3. See bogus dependency problem for XFree86 (I'd think the balsa
report is bogus also since it's untouched since the CDROM install and
as such the up2date should take care of that?)
    

Actual Results:  up2date won't update

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2004-05-06 15:43:54 UTC
can you paste the output of `up2date --list`?

Comment 2 Bjorn Solberg 2004-05-06 17:17:51 UTC
Truncated, since I got "Comments cannot be longer than 65,535
characters." with everything.  Let me know if you want me to email you
the whole list.

you can attach it as a file to this bug report, thats
probably the easiest thing (see "Create a new attachment" link)

Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy, and FC3 and
FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy only for security issues.  Please retest this
bug against a still supported version and retest.  If this still occurs on FC3
or FC4 and is a security issue, please reopen the bug and assign it to that
version and Fedora Legacy.  If it occurs on RHEL, please change to that product
and the appropriate version.

Note that up2date has been replaced by pirut/pup for FC5 and FC6, the only
fully-supported versions of Fedora Core.  Please test pirut for software updates
and file bugs as appropriate.
