Bug 308321

Created attachment 207831 [details]
yum shell missing a dependency

And... I was somehow able to install ooo-writer without ooo-core and I have 
not used rpm --nodeps at all (pirut/yumex).

I can't reproduce this here :-/

I did an install of byzanz, hit apply, then ok.  And then went and searched for
php-pecl-mailstring and installed it and it correctly said it needed to bring in
deps. 

if this is the same behaviour as we used to get then i think the idea is:

select, 'apply', (wait for deps list), _cancel_, modify selections, 'apply',
*deps not recalculated*, things installed without deps.

i thought that'd been fixed but perhaps it's come back.  i'll find the bug for
it tonight and see if i can test it out.

Slightly different manifestation this time, but fixed up again.  My fix had been
reverted upstream.  Fixed both in yum as well as the workaround in pirut

I'll try to reproduce, it's quite possible I did apply + cancel at deps, I 
have only 8G for fc8 tests and... they are almost out.
packagecleanup --problems is a great thing btw :-)

It's getting stranger:

I'll remove all plugins and try this again...

Nope, removing all plugins and yumex does not help. At first 'install 
php-pecl-mailparse' it's OK, but if I press 'N', 'transaction reset' and then 
again 'install php-pecl-mailparse' no deps are picked up.
I have: yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.fc8 and yum-3.2.5-4.fc8
The error is:

Yep, that matches what I tracked down yesterday.  I pushed the fix back into
yum.git as well as having hte workaround in pirut.  And yum 3.2.6 should be out
before F8, so we'll get the fix that way.

Thank you.
pirut-1.3.22-1.fc8 still breaks dependencies - install some packages, remove 
some, add one of the removed (maybe use cancel at some poing) and... no 
deps :-(

I'll wait for new versions and test again...

looks like the same problem is in yum on F7 when removing packages:

select stuff for removal and hit apply
calculate dependencies
change your mind, go back, untick some packages (so they won't be removed)
click apply again
packages are removed without a dependency check!

yum-3.2.5-1.fc7
pirut-1.3.9-1.fc7

please use yum 3.2.7 from updates-testing and see if that is still true. I
believe it is not.

can confirm it behaves correctly in rawhide:
yum-3.2.7-1.fc8
pirut-1.3.23-1.fc8

right, i'm off to see if i can get eclipse working again in F7! ;-)

Yep, it's fixed. I cant trick yum-3.2.7-1.fc8 to install something without 
deps any more ;-)
Thank you.
