Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2007-08-06 17:30:13 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070718 Fedora/2.0.0.5-1.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.5

Description of problem:
gettext seems to have been built against an unreleased update to libgcj, thus preventing its installation due to unresloved dependency on a newer libgcj than is present in current f7-updates repo.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gettext-devel-0.16.1-8.fc7

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install gettext-devel


Actual Results:
$ sudo yum install gettext-devel
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin

Expected Results:
gettext-devel should have been installed without problems.

Comment 1 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2007-08-06 18:52:13 UTC

OK, make that: there is a broken upgrade path from FC6 to F7, i.e. libgcj in F7
is older than in FC6.

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2007-08-06 19:39:32 UTC

To be more precise: (current) fc6 has gcc-4.1.2-13.fc6 (and all the accompanying
packages), while (current) f7 has gcc-4.1.2-12. That's why, when you upgrade,
you get stuck with packages from fc6.

Comment 3 Andrey 2007-08-17 14:24:31 UTC

I am trying to install Eclipse (yum groupinstall Eclipse) to F7. After long list
of dependencies checking is says:

--> Running transaction check
---> Package gcc-java.i386 0:4.1.2-12 set to be updated
---> Package libgcj-devel.i386 0:4.1.2-12 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: gcc = 4.1.2-12 for package: gcc-java
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: gcc = 4.1.2-12 is needed by package gcc-java

Direct yum install libgcj-devel results in transaction check error:

I guess the reason is the same - 4.1.2-12 vs. 4.1.2-13

Comment 4 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2007-08-17 16:47:17 UTC

As a workaround, you can download the relevant f7 packages from the repository
manually and run rpm -Uvh --oldpackage on them.

Comment 5 Skip VerDuin 2007-08-21 23:34:43 UTC

Please allow me to underscore this issue with a little more info:
My FC-7 was an upgrade from FC-6 on 7/4/07, no reported problems were obvious.
I have used pup [Software Update] weekly since that date.
Several things have been "flaky" since upgrade.
Including pup itself that randomly stalls - workaround to restart works OK.

On 8/19 I used "rpm -V -a" and got 20 "Unresolved dependencies...".
More than 1/3 were for libgcj.so.8rh which lead me to this report.
Also "libgcj-src-4.1.2-12.i386" lists its product "libgcj = 4.1.2-12" as a
dependent [?!strange!?].
After pam on 8/21/07 I repeated "rpm -V -a" and got 21 Unresolved (worse).

For me, the 8/17 workaround has not been workable (perhaps lack of experience).
I have not yet located a download source that seems trustworthy.
Yum repo.d leads to duke.edu that leads to a statement "we support [only?] FC-6".

While this issue accounts for 9 of 20, the other 11 are single & double
occurrences of other package dependencies that also remain unsatisfied and the
toolkit of pam/yum/rpm are having tough times dealing with.  See also that:
  libgcj-4.1.2-13.fc6 provides libgcj.so.7rh
  libgcj-4.1.2-12     provides libgcj.so.8rh
which I interpret as a lower package rev provides a higher module rev. similar
to comment #2 above but not identical?
