uotput from yum and rpm
This attachment shows steps to reproduce this bug.
This is two different bug reports. If you think yum should install packages when you ask it to update something, then that one will be filed as NOTABUG and WONTFIX. I do not think it is appropriate to install something that is not installed when the request is to update it if it is installed. Now your second comment about the obsoletes being taken into account for a call to install I'll accept but I'd appreciate it if you filed that separately and filed it at the yum bugzilla, not at red hat's bugzilla. I'll close this upstream. Well, I have to reopen this bug :( I checked yum-2.1.11-3 with rpm-4.3.2-21 (this version does not allow to install packages when file conflicts occurs). Unfortunatelly, "yum install kdewebdev" gives the same effect as rpm -ivh --force kdewebdev*.rpm. In the end /usr/bin/quanta belongs to quanta and kdewebdev :() kdewebdev obsoletes quanta package, so quanta should be removed (actually upgraded) from the system. I didn't have time to check version 2.1.12 but 2.1.13 works correct :-) |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl-PL; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927 Description of problem: I use FC2, but I wanted to upgrade to Rawhide :I I tried updating at first glibc, but it was complaining about nscd (what is funny, yum update glibc nscd resolved the problem). I thought that it would be more sensibly to start with less critical packages, so I installed kdewebdev. Unfortunatelly, it didn't unninstall quanta! "yum update/upgrade kdewebdev" does not work, because this package is not installed, so it cannot be updated/upgraded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.1.10-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install package which is obsolated 2. Run "yum install package_which_obsoletes_previous_one" ;) 3. Run rpm to see, that both packages are in rpm database. Actual Results: Mess in the system :( Expected Results: Yum should by default upgrade packages, not install them.
