Description Ralf Corsepius 2005-11-02 05:24:34 UTC
Description of problem:
The update of cln from 1.1.9-4.fc4 to 1.1.10-1.fc4 breaks the package deps of
ginac and octave-forge.

Steps to Reproduce:
# yum update
..
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package cln-devel.i386 0:1.1.10-1.fc4 set to be updated
---> Package cln.i386 0:1.1.10-1.fc4 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: libcln.so.3 for package: ginac-utils
--> Processing Dependency: libcln.so.3 for package: ginac
--> Processing Dependency: libcln.so.3 for package: octave-forge
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libcln.so.3 is needed by package ginac-utils
Error: Missing Dependency: libcln.so.3 is needed by package ginac
Error: Missing Dependency: libcln.so.3 is needed by package octave-forge

Apparent cause is libcln.so having updated its SONAME.

Remedy: Either 
a) provide a compat-cln package containing libcln.so.3
b) rebuild all packages depending on libcln.so.3

The only safe way is a).

Comment 1 Quentin Spencer 2005-11-03 20:38:43 UTC
ginac and octave-forge have been rebuilt, so the dependency breakage should now
be resolved.
