Description Luis Villa 2007-11-19 17:29:55 UTC

gnome-scan 0.5.3 depends on gnome-scan 0.4.0, apparently, which as you can
imagine causes conflicts and therefore fails to install. yum transaction below:

[louie@towel ~]$ sudo yum install gnome-scan

Comment 1 Deji Akingunola 2007-11-19 18:29:51 UTC

I think this is a yum bug, so re-assigning.
To yum maintainer: gnome-scan is a rename of gnomescan, and also along with
getting renamed, the a gnome-scan-libs has been split out of the main package.
Versioned obsolete and Provides were properly properly put in place for
gnome-scan main package and the gnome-scan-libs subpackage, however yum is still
trying to pick the old gnomescan to satisfy the dependency instead of choosing
gnome-scan-libs.

Luis: You can work around the file conflict in the meantime by running 'sudo yum
install gnome-scan gnome-scan-libs'

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2007-11-19 20:33:21 UTC

Interesting... reproduced.  We need to have a check for obsoletes probably in
_requiringFromTransaction before the check based on name length.

Comment 3 Luis Villa 2007-11-25 21:59:55 UTC

I don't think it is, but before filing another bug: is this bug the same reason
I'm currently seeing the following (apparently bogus?) dependency:

=============================================================================
 Package                 Arch       Version          Repository        Size 
=============================================================================
Installing:
 kernel                  i686       2.6.23.8-62.fc8  updates-testing    16 M
Installing for dependencies:
 kernel                  i586       2.6.23.1-49.fc8  updates            16 M

The i586 package then has file conflicts with the i686 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 kernel
I've already got installed; fun, fun, fun.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2007-11-26 15:56:17 UTC

Yeah, it's highly likely to be the same root cause.  mutter, grumble, etc, etc... :)

Comment 5 Luis Villa 2007-11-26 16:01:15 UTC

(shrug) better one root bug with multiple impacts than many root bugs. :)

Comment 6 Seth Vidal 2008-03-12 15:46:02 UTC

And we have that obsoletes check now and many many more.
