As you see within the debug output from up2date. Up2date from what I can tell is doing the following : - grabs headers - determines (correctly) new version of rpm to be installed - looks for the dependancies needed to meet the upgrade of rpm - gets a list of packages needed - rpm-build, rpm-devel, rpm-libs & rpm-python - incorrectly determines that rpm-libs-4.2.3-13.i386 meets the dependancies needed for rpm-4.2.3-13.x86_64 : D: Package rpm-libs raised invalid dependency. Adding ['rpm-libs', '4.2.3', '13', '', 'i386', '718083', 'rhel-x86_64-as-3'] to set - This I believe is because the rpm-libs-4.2.3-13 is within the rhel-x86_64-as-3 as both an .i386 and .x86_64 package, but the listing of packages up2date gets, lists the .i386 version before the .x86_64 version. - Since up2date does not perform any validation of the arch type when querying for dependancies up2date assumes the .i386 of rpm-libs does meet the dependancy required by the .x86_64 rpm package and this then triggers the rest of up2date attempting to meet the required dependancies for the .i386 version of rpm-libs and eventually fails. The resolution it seems to this is to rewrite the code within up2date's up2date_client/depSolver.py file such that it does correctly take into account the arch of a package and most like make the assumption that a x86_64 package has a dependancy for another x86_64 package in the channel, if no such package by the same matching arch exists, look for any other packages which provide that dependancy. From my testing I can also state the following to be true, and can be used as alternative methods to work arround this issue. 1 - If you schedule the rpm errata to be applied to a system via the RHN web interface and then use rhn_check to pull down the new rpm packages - this works fine. # rhn_check -v errata.update ([289],) Name Version Rel ---------------------------------------------------------- popt 1.8.2 13 x86_64 [RHBA-2004:501-07] An updated rpm package that allows concurrent rpmdb access is now available. rpm 4.2.3 13 x86_64 [RHBA-2004:501-07] An updated rpm package that allows concurrent rpmdb access is now available. rpm-build 4.2.3 13 x86_64 [RHBA-2004:501-07] An updated rpm package that allows concurrent rpmdb access is now available. rpm-devel 4.2.3 13 x86_64 [RHBA-2004:501-07] An updated rpm package that allows concurrent rpmdb access is now available. rpm-libs 4.2.3 13 x86_64 [RHBA-2004:501-07] An updated rpm package that allows concurrent rpmdb access is now available. rpm-python 4.2.3 13 x86_64 [RHBA-2004:501-07] An updated rpm package that allows concurrent rpmdb access is now available. popt-1.8.2-13.x86_64.rpm: ########################## Done. rpm-4.2.3-13.x86_64.rpm: ########################## Done. rpm-build-4.2.3-13.x86_64.r ########################## Done. rpm-devel-4.2.3-13.x86_64.r ########################## Done. rpm-libs-4.2.3-13.x86_64.rp ########################## Done. rpm-python-4.2.3-13.x86_64. ########################## Done.

Description of problem: When you attempt to use up2date to upgrade rpm on an Enterprise Linux 3 U3 for AMD64 (x86_64) using the current version of up2date avaiable (up2date-4.2.57-2) the upgrade attempt will fail with an error message : Unresolvable chain of dependencies: rpm-libs 4.2.3-13 requires libelf.so.1 rpm-libs 4.2.3-13 requires libelf.so.1(ELFUTILS_1.0) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa --qf='%{n}-%{v}-%{r}-%{ARCH}\n' | egrep '^rpm|elfutil|up2date|redhat-release' | sort elfutils-0.91-3-x86_64 elfutils-devel-0.91-3-x86_64 elfutils-libelf-0.91-3-x86_64 elfutils-libelf-devel-0.91-3-x86_64 redhat-release-3AS-12.3-x86_64 rpm-4.2.3-10-x86_64 rpm-build-4.2.3-10-x86_64 rpmdb-redhat-3-0.20040902-x86_64 rpm-devel-4.2.3-10-x86_64 rpm-libs-4.2.3-10-x86_64 rpm-python-4.2.3-10-x86_64 up2date-4.2.57-2-x86_64 up2date-gnome-4.2.57-2-x86_64 up2date-update-4.2.38-1-x86_64 # cat /etc/rpm/platform x86_64-redhat-linux # uname -a Linux dhcp206.rhndev.redhat.com 2.4.21-20.EL #1 Wed Aug 18 20:48:55 EDT 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # arch x86_64 # How reproducible: Every time.
