Description Dave Jones 2008-10-07 17:37:35 UTC
Created attachment 319674 [details]
fail dialog.

the icon in my task bar showed I had updates. I tried to apply them, and got the attached dialog which isn't really helpful.  Success ?

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2008-10-07 20:14:00 UTC
How did you initiate the update? Right click, update system? I'm not sure why we fail like that -- do you get an identical error message when doing "yum update"?

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2008-10-07 20:24:52 UTC
yeah that was just a right click & update.

yum update from the command gives a more helpful message..

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2008-10-07 20:28:56 UTC
Does "pkcon update" give you a proper error? Thx.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2008-10-07 20:39:45 UTC
yeah.

$ pkcon update
Error: dep-resolution-failed : Success - empty transaction

I've fixed this upstream, thanks:

    yum: emit a proper error message when we fail to depsolve and then have nothing to do. Fixes rh#466006
