Bug 471736

Created attachment 323690 [details]
list of installed packages.

As I said, I was trying to upgrade from F8 to F9. 

[root@baythorne ~]# grep fc8 installed-rpms  | wc -l
887
[root@baythorne ~]# grep fc9 installed-rpms | wc -l
237

But it did explictly _ask_ me to file the bug in bugzilla... and this kind of upgrade normally works without problems (except dependency stuff in the packages themselves).

...weird ... I assume this part still happens? Do you feel like putting a print "DBG:", old in there?
 What version of yum are you using (--version output)?
 Can you update to the yum version in rawhide?
 Also the debug output uses "-v -v -v" this isn't cumlative, you want just "-d 9" ... also can you upload the "-d 9" output for the simple "yum update" without any args.

 Does "package-cleanup --problems" show anything? Does yum-complete-transaction do anything?

It seems to be mgetty-sendfax which is causing the problem. Adding 'print pkgtup' and 'print self.searchPktTuple(pkgtup) to matchPackageNames() in packageSack.py gives me...

After removing them all manually (rpm -e --allmatches did nothing) I can update.
That wasn't the problem I expected you to care about though -- I'd guessed that was probably something strange about my machine. The one I expected you to look at was...

Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
xorg-x11-drv-magictouch is needed by (installed)
xorg-x11-drivers-7.2-9.fc8.i386
Complete!
(1, [u'Please report this error in bugzilla'])


(Which I 'solved' by rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-drv-magictouch)

> That wasn't the problem I expected you to care about though

 Ahh, sorry that wasn't obvious.

 xorg-x11-drv-magictouch-1.0.0.5-5.fc8.i386 is obsoleted by xorg-x11-server-Xorg, and you did (basically):

yum update org-x11-server-Xorg

...which looks like a slightly different iteration of 470440, fixed upstream.

I have just written a fairly exhaustive post on this bug (and it's "predecessor" as it were) here, which may assist users, or bugzilla folks:

Thought I should add it here, and I'll poke it in the direction of the YumUpgradeFaq too.

Bugger. I forgot to mention, the above applies on a machine that has been upgraded to FC10, so that may negate the 'nextrelease' flagging, but that's up to you folks.
