I'm seeing something in a similar vein here though in my case the chain of dependencies is clear. A workstation subscribed to the Extras channel with only HelixPlayer installed will see the RealPlayer-uninstall package remove HelixPlayer. Since there does not seem to be advisory against HelixPlayer this behaviour is unwanted. *** Bug 441778 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'm seeing the same as in comment #7. System is subscribed to the Extras channel and to all BETA channels. *** Bug 485188 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can verify that with RealPlayer-uninstall-10.0.9-4 the update process proceeds without any unsatisfied dependencies. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-1003.html |
Created attachment 322700 [details] up2date -u output Description of problem: A RHEL 4.7 box with all packages installed hit this error when I tried to update it from RHN. The full up2date output is attached, here's a summary: - RHEL 4.7 'everything' installation is performed. It contains HelixPlayer. - The box is then subscribed with the Extras channel, which contains RealPlayer and RealPlayer-uninstall. - RealPlayer obsoletes HelixPlayer. - RealPlayer-uninstall obsoletes RealPlayer and HelixPlayer, and conflicts with RealPlayer - up2date -u is performed - transaction fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.7.1-17.el4 Additional info: This is a showstopper for the update. Looks like one has to uninstall HelixPlayer manually and try up2date -u again. Then it's all right. Another ugly workaround is to do up2date -u RealPlayer, which brings Realplayer and obsoletes HelixPlayer. Then up2date -u is able to update to box, ignoring RealPlayer-uninstall (which is very interesting...). So, I think up2date is misbehaving. However, feel free to change this to component RealPlayer if its Obsoletes:/Conflicts: are wrong.
