Description Zdenek Dohnal 2020-06-24 07:34:08 UTC
Hi,

I installed rpminspect on Fedora 31 and I got an error during updating the system afterwards:

Steps:
$ sudo dnf install rpminspect
$ sudo dnf -y upgrade
Last metadata expiration check: 0:24:49 ago on Wed 24 Jun 2020 08:57:24 AM CEST.
Dependencies resolved.

 Problem: package librpminspect-0.13-1.fc31.x86_64 requires libmandoc.so.1()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package mandoc-1.14.5-12.fc31.x86_64 obsoletes libmandoc <= 1.14.5-10 provided by libmandoc-1.14.4-3.fc31.x86_64
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package librpminspect-0.13-1.fc31.x86_64
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package libmandoc-1.14.4-3.fc31.x86_64
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Would you mind looking into it?

Comment 1 Dave Cantrell 2020-06-24 15:16:21 UTC
Sorry about that.  I pushed an update to mandoc for F-31 and yesterday moved it to the stable updates.  But I have not yet rebuilt rpminspect on F-31.  Let me do that today.

In the mean time, you can use the F-31 Copr builds:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dcantrell/rpminspect/

The Copr repo provides the most recent version from master if the test suite passes.

Comment 4 Zdenek Dohnal 2020-06-25 04:33:27 UTC
No problem, David - it is actually only an error during dnf transaction for rpminspect, which doesn't stop the whole update. I'll update the summary accordingly.

Please use a buildroot override in the future for updates like this in branched Fedoras - if you have a package which changed soname and other package depends on soname, then build the soname changed package, enable a buildroot override for the build and build the dependent package. Then both rebuilt packages push as a single bodhi update - it will prevent issues like this one.

Comment 5 Fedora Update System 2020-07-03 01:37:39 UTC
FEDORA-2020-22d970a8d1 has been pushed to the Fedora 31 stable repository.
If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
