Description Jan Lieskovsky 2007-07-20 13:10:53 UTC
Description of problem:
By performing tps-rhnqa test for the cups advisory (RHSA-2007:0720) 
I discovered the following yum error on ppc and x86_64 RHEL-5Server:

From tps-rhnqa log:

By manual attempt to update the cups package, I got the following:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.1-4.el5.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update cups (on ppc or x86_64 RHEL-5 server)
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error: Missing Dependency: cups-libs = 1:1.2.4-0 is needed by package cups

Expected results:
The cups package will be updated correctly (without errors) as
it is done by the previous (yum-3.0.1-5.el5.noarch) version of yum,
i.e: 

yum update cups -> ...

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2007-07-20 13:18:35 UTC
This bugzilla has Keywords: Regression.  

Since no regressions are allowed between releases, 
it is also being proposed as a blocker for this release.  

Please resolve ASAP.

Comment 2 James Laska 2007-08-13 19:37:04 UTC
Attempting to reproduce on ppc locally ... can you outline what packages were
installed at the start of this test case that trigger the error?  Is that
available in a tps log?

Comment 3 John W. Lockhart 2007-08-13 19:48:25 UTC
Using nest.test.redhat.com:/mnt/qa on /mnt/qa, TPS output is:

ls -d /mnt/qa/scratch/*/2007:0720

That produces a long list of machines.  The {old,new}-files*list files
show the list of old and new packages that were installed for the run,
and tps-rhnqa.log shows the commands and output that occurred during
the runs.

The tps .log files should show how many Old, New, and Stray (eg, non-errata)
RPMs were installed.


Comment 4 Pete Graner 2007-08-15 20:16:55 UTC
Moving to 5.2 due to yum staying at the GA verison

Comment 5 James Antill 2007-09-25 04:50:37 UTC
 Given this was a Beta only bug, I'm going to close.
