Description

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 but was withdrawn, and will not be part of RHEL-5.1.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. |
