Bug 127441

this should be fixed in rhel4 up2date

Re-opening because this bug was reported against RHEL-3.

The plan for the next RHEL3 is to use the same branch as for rhel4
(up2date-4.4.x) so it should be available for RHEL3.

This bug is considered MustFix for RHEL 3 U6 by RHN Engineering.

can this be tested with satellite running rhel 4 and client running rhel 3? 
does it matter?  also I need a test plan .... 

test plan

easiest way to test this is to attempt to reproduce the conditions mentioned
in the original bug report. But thats a fairly involved setup. 

Another more generic approach is to create a test package that conflicts with
something that will always be installed on a test system (say package
"this-conflicts-with-glibc" with a Conflicts: glibc), and populate a test channel
with this. Then subscribe the test box to the test channel and:

up2date this-conflicts-with-glibc

It will fail to install, but should give correct error message about it being
because of a package conflicts, not an unresolved depenency.

The bug was that on package conflicts or unresolved deps, it would use the error
string format for unresolved deps, instead of a less confusing one about
conflicts. So you just need to verify the right error is shown in the case of 
package conflicts.

Retested with rhn-apache/httpd conflict.  The rhn-apache install failed, but for
the wrong reason.  It should say "conflicts with" rather than "needs":

what happens when you try this with the commandline client?

It looks correct from the command line.  This is starting to look kinda similar
to 162954.

I don't see any comments from Adrian, so I'm not sure if this bug should really
be in ON_QA state.

client looks correct, but website is still wrong. Probably need to
reassign this to the website

verified -- web UI now has correct text:

Dependency errors encountered:

    * rhn-apache-1.3.27-11.rhn.rhel3 conflicts with httpd
