Description Nils Philippsen 2005-09-19 15:20:04 UTC

Description of problem:

yum update as of now:
[...]
--> Processing Conflict: kudzu conflicts kernel < 2.6.13
--> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes.
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
--> Running transaction check
Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies
Error: Package kudzu needs kernel < 2.6.13, this is not available.

I think that kudzu isn't needed or wanted anymore (at least for the time being),
so it(s existing versions) should be obsoleted by the kernel so yum/up2date can
do the right thing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.13-1.1558_FC5

How reproducible:
Easy.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum --obsoletes update
  
Actual results:
See above.

Expected results:
No error message about kudzu conflicting with the new kernel, kudzu gets kicked out.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2005-09-22 02:40:39 UTC

this error only gets thrown if you have any < 2.6.13 kernels installed.
this may prove problematic for upgrades. Bill ?

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2005-09-22 04:27:31 UTC

The error message is wrong.

kudzu *conflicts* with kernels < 2.6.13.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2005-09-22 07:11:47 UTC

In that case, the yum error message should be fixed (to reflect what it
correctly reported a few lines above) and yum should maybe offer to remove the
offending kernel packages? IIRC anaconda does the right thing, namely forget the
installed kernel packages and only keep the one that came along on the
installation media.

Anyway, this should only happen when doing a "yum update" from FC4 to Rawhide or
FC5 (or within Rawhide), so it's not a big deal.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2005-09-22 17:36:47 UTC

The error message is definitely wrong :-)

Comment 5 Peter Ennis 2005-10-13 05:02:49 UTC

Ref: Bug 170585
Running rawhide
Google did not reveal a solution
I will try yum --obsoletes update
