There is no such dependancy in libvirt-python
%package python
Summary: Python bindings for the libvirt library
Group: Development/Libraries
Requires: libvirt = %{version}
Obsoletes: libvir-python
If I remember correctly this was a bug in some version of yum
which failed to grab the updated libvirt-python available, and should
be fixed by now but I don't remember the precise details.

We tried yum-3.2.7-1el5 (backport from fedora development) with the similar result: # rpm -q yum yum-3.2.7-1el5 # yum deplist libvirt-python [snip] dependency: libvirt.so.0()(64bit) provider: libvirt.x86_64 0.2.3-4.el5 dependency: libvirt = 0.2.3-0 Unsatisfied dependency [/snip] Do you know if it is necessary to update the metadata parser as well? Thanks, Espen This looks like the multi-lib. deps bug we are trying to fix upstream currently, the problem is: . X deps. on Y . Y is installed with .i386 and .x86_64 . only one of the above arches for Y, usually the .x86_64 . Having both the old and new versions of Y doesn't work . Here libvert == Y and libvirt-python == X ...this should be fixed for the RHEL-5.2, before that you'll need to manually fix it (remove one of the libvirt packages, manually update libvirt before installing xen etc.). This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
