This is either a yum or RHN bug. The RPM dependancy is just fine: %package python Requires: libvirt = %{version} This has not changed in ages & works just fine with regular Fedora YUM. The RHN beta channels are populated with the matching pair of libvirt-0.2.3-4.el5.i386.rpm libvirt-python-0.2.3-4.el5.i386.rpm https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/dependencies.pxt?pid=411038 https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/dependencies.pxt?pid=411040 Based on the error message " Error: Missing Dependency: libvirt = 0.2.3-0 is needed by package libvirt-python" I'd say that yum was mistakenly adding/inventing the '-0' release part of the dependancy when in fact the dep is merely 'libvirt = %{version}'. Since the base package has a release of -4.el5 it then fails to satisfy this -0 requirement. What version of yum, there we had a planned errata but it had a bunch of dependancy problems and so is pulled. Can you try with the GA version of yum? here the version of yum used right know on the RHEL 5.1beta box: yum-3.2.1-4.el5 by the way , what do you mean by GA version ? The iniital release of yum, for RHEL-5.0 the first so called Generally Available (GA) release was version yum-3.0.1-5.el5. The one you have was one of the proposed updates for RHEL-5.1, and was included in some of the Beta cycle ... but was withdrawn, and will not be part of RHEL-5.1. You need to downgrade to the GA version of yum. |
