Seems like it's a depsolver bug, traced in bug #1470922 Err... I resubmitted yesterdays NetworkManager build in f27 (sorry if that was out of place), only to find out that the deps are somewhat wrong. # rpm -Uhv libnm-gtk-devel-1.8.2-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm NetworkManager-glib-devel-1.8.2-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: NetworkManager-devel >= 1:1.1.0 is needed by libnm-gtk-devel-1.8.2-2.fc27.x86_64 NetworkManager-devel = 1:1.8.2-2.fc27 is needed by NetworkManager-glib-devel-1:1.8.2-2.fc27.x86_64 NetworkManager-devel(x86-64) = 1:1.8.2-2.fc27 is needed by NetworkManager-glib-devel-1:1.8.2-2.fc27.x86_64 I think NetworkManager-glib-devel should not depend on on NetworkManager-devel, as the latter does not exist anymore. I think the original patch [1] is wrong. Also, the partial revert [2] is not enough, because it should be a full revert. [1] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=03586743f09c8c70b43025bce47d5b064bf8999f [2] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=1ac92ac3559c483ba3ed6efaf11843dc3a49adae The Obsoletes+Provides combo is done that way, to realize a package split. It surprises me, that according to comment 1, the NetworkManager-ppp plugin was not automatically installed on upgrade. That is precisely the point of having Provides: NetworkManager = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release} Obsoletes: NetworkManager < %{obsoletes_ppp_plugin} I think, [1] should be fully reverted and comment 1 should be investigated why the split didn't work on upgrade. Sorry if that patch turned out to be incorrect. But the fact is that the depsolver is seeing NetworkManager-ppp as being sufficient to meet a dependency on "NetworkManager", which causes problems. So that will need fixing. (In reply to Thomas Haller from comment #5) > The Obsoletes+Provides combo is done that way, to realize a package split. what I said here was wrong (discussed with Lubomir). I agree now, current master is correct as-is. This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 1281273 [details] dist-git patch to correct Requires/Provides Description of problem: The -ppp and -glib-devel subpackages are marked as `Provides: NetworkManager = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}`. However, these packages do not provide that functionality, they require it. I suspect that this was a packaging typo that was overlooked because it would be uncommon to try to install these separate from the main NetworkManager. However, in the modularity world, we discovered that the depsolver for the "installer" module was attempting to use NetworkManager-ppp to satisfy our dependency for NetworkManager, which resulted in failures. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-1.8.0-3.fc27 NetworkManager-1.8.0-3.fc26 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. `dnf repoquery --provides NetworkManager-ppp` Actual results: NetworkManager = 1:1.8.0-1.fc26 NetworkManager-ppp = 1:1.8.0-1.fc26 NetworkManager-ppp(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0-1.fc26 libnm-ppp-plugin.so()(64bit) Expected results: NetworkManager-ppp = 1:1.8.0-1.fc26 NetworkManager-ppp(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0-1.fc26 libnm-ppp-plugin.so()(64bit) Additional info:
