Description Dennis Gilmore 2005-11-17 18:15:52 UTC

Description of problem: 
When Doing update from rawhide system with monolithic X to modular X  the 
update fails.  the reason being the yum wants to remove the old 
xorg-font-utils before doing the font upgrade.  mharris has specified the 
correct obsoletes. 
 
[2005-11-17 12:06] <skvidal> and where do they require that package? You said 
it was all in %postun/post? 
[2005-11-17 12:07] <mharris> skvidal: yep, post/postun scripts 
[2005-11-17 12:07] <skvidal> ts.order() is still done using rpm - so I'd guess 
something is sorting in the wrong order so that the obsolete is happening 
first 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
rpm-4.4.2-6 
 
How reproducible: 
always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. yum update  
2.

Actual results:

I see yum, not rpm, as the failing component here.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2005-11-18 17:12:41 UTC

What's in your /etc/yum.conf?  Do you have obsoletes=1 set?

Comment 3 Dennis Gilmore 2005-11-18 18:38:23 UTC

[dennis@anubis ~]$ cat /etc/yum.conf 
[main] 
cachedir=/var/cache/yum 
debuglevel=2 
logfile=/var/log/yum.log 
pkgpolicy=newest 
distroverpkg=redhat-release 
tolerant=1 
exactarch=1
