Description Leonard den Ottolander 2006-08-24 20:53:03 UTC
xorg-x11-xdm misses a requirement on xorg-x11-base.

As a result yum groupinstall "KDE (...)" fails to install X as a dependency.

Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2006-08-25 15:35:51 UTC
'repoquery --whatprovides xorg-x11-base' returns no matches in rawhide, and I
don't have a package by that name in CVS for any release of the OS.  Where are
you getting the name 'xorg-x11-base' from?

Comment 2 Leonard den Ottolander 2006-08-28 21:06:57 UTC
I must have made a silly assumption when comparing against RHEL-4 where X is
provided by xorg-x11.

Original report should be read as:

"Missing requirement on xorg-x11-server-Xorg

xorg-x11-xdm misses a requirement on xorg-x11-server-Xorg.

As a result yum groupinstall "KDE (...)" fails to install X as a dependency."

Sorry for the confusion.


Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2006-08-29 17:26:33 UTC
That's intentional though.  xdm doesn't need an X server installed in order to
work; it just needs an X server to talk to.  Firefox doesn't require apache.

My understanding is this is the sort of thing comps files are for, rather than
RPM dependencies.

Comment 4 Leonard den Ottolander 2006-08-30 19:40:54 UTC
Well, then you please tell me which dependency is missing.

If I yum groupinstall KDE *something* should pull in an X server. This doesn't
happen though.

(Maybe the dependency should be on kdebase?)

no it shouldn't maybe you want to run kde through vnc, maybe to ssh X
forwarding, maybe you only want it to build packages (as on a build server)

I think this should be closed as not a bug.
