Before and after this update, I had all of the ice-* packages installed on this
machine -- in fact, I think that all of these packages were installed before. So
why are half of them showing up under "updating for dependencies" rather than as
normal updates?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.4-2.fc7

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "yum update" on a machine where some packages to be updated are
dependencies of others
  
Actual results:
Some packages show up under "Updating for dependencies" rather than "Updating"

Expected results:
Every package that's got a new version to show up under "Updating".

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2007-09-10 01:09:04 UTC

Have a potential fix for this in rawhide testing atm -- once we show that there
aren't side effects from it, we'll push it back in a Fedora 7 update.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2007-10-12 14:14:42 UTC

Pushed upstream and will be in yum 3.2.7 (will be an F7 update soon)
