Description fx pottier 2007-06-11 11:52:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
while running pup, up2date or yum to update y softwares, it runs into trouble
with the following package : libgii
libgii-0.8.4-2
Looks like there's a problem with returning a list in python while resolving the
dependencies

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

How reproducible:
I think you need to have the packages that seem to cause the issue then try
update with either yum, up2date or pup (is pup the same as up2date ?)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
I can't update my system (unless i get rid of those packages but i'd rather keep'em)

Expected results:
I'd love to update my system, which was working well until now.

Additional info:
some packages i managed to trace in the dependencies :
libgii-0.8.4-2
libggi-2.0.1-6
svgalib4ggi-0.6-4
quake-svga-1.06-2

fx pottier, how have you found out which package is guilty? I uninstalled some
packages which yum update wanted to update (yumex, ...), and now it just dies as
above:
# yum update

Comment 4 Nerijus Baliūnas 2007-06-13 21:01:40 UTC 
OK, I found it out - it's gdb-6.6-15.fc7.i386.rpm. After I updated it manually,
yum update works.
Comment 5 fx pottier 2007-06-15 13:20:08 UTC 
good for you nerijus,
I'm not sure about the package libgii-0.8.4-2 is the one causing the issue but
the yum process dies there while testing the dependencies (or so it seems)

To manually update the package, did you simply download it and rpm -Uvh it ?
Comment 6 fx pottier 2007-06-15 14:23:32 UTC 
Since i had no other idea and didnt want to spend to much time on this
I removed the following pacakges and i found that svgalib4ggi was on wrong acrh
(i686 instead of i386) the problem might have come from there.
problem solved.

Comment 7 Nerijus Baliūnas 2007-06-16 21:37:44 UTC 
Yes, I simply downloaded gdb package from F7 updates and installed it with rpm
-Fvh. Then yum update started working. Strange.
