Description Stephen Gallagher 2007-08-17 12:59:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Attempting to perform "yum update pidgin" yields the following error:
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package pidgin needs libebook-1.2.so.9, this is not available.
Package pidgin needs libedata-book-1.2.so.2, this is not available.
Package pidgin needs libedataserver-1.2.so.9, this is not available.
Package pidgin needs libgtkspell.so.0, this is not available.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Pidgin 2.1.0-2

How reproducible:
Every time, as long as the evolution-data-server and gtkspell packages are not
installed

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a system without gtkspell and evolution-data-server installed
2. Attempt to perform a 'yum update pidgin' to version 2.1.0-2
  
Actual results:
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package pidgin needs libebook-1.2.so.9, this is not available.
Package pidgin needs libedata-book-1.2.so.2, this is not available.
Package pidgin needs libedataserver-1.2.so.9, this is not available.
Package pidgin needs libgtkspell.so.0, this is not available.

Additional info:
It looks like there's some confusion on where to find the dependent libraries.
Pidgin should depend on evolution-data-server and gtkspell, rather than the
specific libraries. Or else there needs to be a better lookup for what package
contains those libraries.

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2007-08-17 14:59:59 UTC 
As far as we can tell, this isn't a problem in pidgin.  A yum bug?
Comment 3 Seth Vidal 2007-08-17 15:19:45 UTC 
this is yum 3.2.2?
Comment 4 Stephen Gallagher 2007-08-17 15:26:12 UTC 
yum-3.2.2-1.fc7
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2007-08-20 17:56:09 UTC 
What's the output of 'rpm -q evolution-data-server'?  And can you provide the
output of yum -d6 update pidgin?
Comment 6 Stephen Gallagher 2007-08-20 18:10:09 UTC 
I'm unable to reproduce this at this point, because I manually installed
evolution-data-server and then updated pidgin.

I yum removed all of the components and attempted to yum install pidgin again,
but from a clean state, it recognizes that it needs evolution-data-server.

So it appears to happen only during upgrade from the previous version of pidgin.
Comment 7 Seth Vidal 2007-08-29 21:59:30 UTC 
okay - I think the background reason for this was fixed this morning - so I'm
going to close the bug. open a new bug if something related happens again.

thank you

Reopening this bug, as we still have a dependency resolution problem as of
today, 2007-09-04. I will attach a log file with the debug output of yum.

Comment 10 Jeremy Katz 2007-09-04 17:50:11 UTC 
yum 3.2.4 should fix this; it should be available in -updates now
