Description Joel Rees 2008-09-15 09:59:55 UTC

Description of problem:

Version numbering in the repository causes spurious conflicts when doing yum update.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)

iwl4965-firmware.noarch 0:4.44.1.20-1
kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.ppc


How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. yum clean all
2. yum install iwl4965-firmware
  

Actual results:

...
Processing Conflict: kernel conflicts iwl4965-firmware < 228.57.2
...
kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.ppc from installed has depsolving problems
  --> kernel conflicts with iwl4965-firmware
Error: kernel conflicts with iwl4965-firmware


Expected results:

Not that I really want this kind of non-open junk in my machine, but the expected result is installation, of course.

Comment 1 Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2008-09-15 10:17:03 UTC

Previously the lastest iwl4965-firmware wasn't available in the ppc/ppc64 repositories because kernel hasn't iwl4965.ko built.
Now that iwl4965.ko is also built on ppc. it does make a sense to have the firmware so it is been re-introduced. Then i'm going to close this bug as duplicate #458907

There is another side of the problem which has been reported as #459688 and was not ppc specific.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 458907 ***

note that if you don't need this, you can also uninstall it until the update is available in the ppc repositories (which will fix the problem for everyone)
