full output from yum update
The problem is in in the wording of the problem. The term "needs" is in the sense that "... needs an additional ..." All other packages will report the same problem for a given mount point. WONTFIX I'm not certain I understand... The /usr filesystem had 1.9G total, with 1.7G used. There were 76M of updates. Yum is asking for 5732M (close to 6G) needed. That's almost 4G more than needed. I don't know where you are getting 5732M from.
What is being indicated is
1) You have 119Mb on /usr:
/dev/mapper/rootvg-usr_lv
1.9G 1.7G 119M 94% /usr
2) You need an *additional* 182MB on /usr in order to run the transaction.
Transaction Check Error:
installing package glibc-common-2.5.90-19 needs 182MB on the /usr filesystem
The 5732M is what the error is. This number was reported by yum: Error Summary ------------- Disk Requirements: At least 5732MB needed on the /usr filesystem. Then this is a yum error. The correct answer is that an additional 182M is needed on /usr. Please reassign this bug to yum. Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost. This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks. Closing, moving to devel #235892: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235892 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 235892 *** Created attachment 158440 [details]
custom package, incase it matters.
Present on Fedora 7.
Another more extreme example:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVolslash
7.8G 7.1G 313M 96% /
# yum localinstall /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/timms-global-0.0.2-5.i386.rpm
--nogpgcheck
{own package that only has requires, no content}
...
Install 89 Package(s)
Update 1 Package(s)
Remove 0 Package(s)

{note: downloads and yum cache are on a different partition}

[root] xm-fc7-001 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [snip] /dev/mapper/rootvg-usr_lv 1.9G 1.7G 119M 94% /usr Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.1.4-1.fc7 How reproducible: Run "yum update" with less space than required for updates. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run yum update with less space than needed for proper installation Actual results: yum reports that Disk Requirements are close to 6Gig whereas the proper number is about 50M extra needed. Expected results: yum disk space number should be correct Additional info: Possibly related to bug id=209980
