Description Rob Staveley (Tom) 2006-06-21 20:41:23 UTC

Description of problem:

I realise that upgrading FC4 to FC5 isn't approved, but I followed the
instructions at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq#head-046d8b21e4b28db2ccfc1686482e54ab2f97e2af
and I got stuck on...

> Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/man/man8/blkid.8.gz from install of
e2fsprogs-1.38-12 conflicts with file from package e2fsprogs-1.38-0.FC4.1

... when I `yum -y update`. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Yum version 2.6.1

How reproducible:

I haven't attempted to repeat the problem. I haven't the resources available,
I'm afraid to say. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Intall a x86_64 FC4 SMT system, install PostgreSQL and cyrus. Then yum update
everything including the kernel (2.6.16-1.2115_FC4smp #1 SMP Mon Jun 5 15:01:20
EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
2. Remove all kernels prior to 2.6.16, using yum
3. rpm -Uhv
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm

4. yum -y update
5. Dependency errors in the yum update demand that you remove: php, php-pear,
php-pgsql, php-ldap and cyrus, which you then do
6. again retry yum -y update and you see... 
  
Actual results:

Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/man/man8/blkid.8.gz from install of
e2fsprogs-1.38-12 conflicts with file from package e2fsprogs-1.38-0.FC4.1

Expected results:

Something to indicate that the yum update was successful.

Additional info:

This is my first bug report, so I hope this is OK. The URL on this bug indicates
my question posted on Experts Exchange, which provides a history on the bug and
provides an alternative channel for correspondance, if that helps :-)

Using RPM I can see what's at the bottom of this problem.

The work-around I used was to use --replacefiles.

You need to remove some packages before doing an update with yum between releaes
