Update: I've updated yum to 3.2.21-7.fc11 and uninstalled yum-allowdowngrade, so that I have no plugin installed. The bug is still present. Looking at what is in rawhide atm. I see:
% repoquery --repoid=rawhide perl-version
perl-version-3:0.74-54.fc11.x86_64
% repoquery --repoid=rawhide perl
perl-4:5.10.0-54.fc11.x86_64
perl-4:5.10.0-54.fc11.i386
% repoquery --repoid=rawhide --requires perl-version
perl = 4:5.10.0-54.fc11
perl >= 5.005_04
perl(strict)
perl(vars)
% repoquery --provides --repoid=rawhide perl | fgrep -v '(' | fgrep perl
perl = 4:5.10.0-54.fc11
perl-File-Temp = 0.20
perl-TAP-Harness = 3.10
perl = 4:5.10.0-54.fc11
perl-File-Temp = 0.20
perl-TAP-Harness = 3.10
...which suggests that all the perl stuff should have come in due to old "perl = <version>" problems.
Can you run:
rpm -q perl-version --requires
At a guess it might be the double versioned requirements that is triggering the bug.
> Can you run: rpm -q perl-version --requires $ rpm -q perl-version --requires perl >= 0:5.005_04 perl = 4:5.10.0-52.fc11 perl(strict) perl(vars) rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 $ rpm -q perl perl-5.10.0-53.fc11.i386 Indeed, it seems I currently do have unresolved dependencies. Most of the packages from perl.spec are -52.fc11, except for perl and perl-libs, which are release -53.fc11. > ...which suggests that all the perl stuff should have come in Agreed, it should. IMHO the depsolver should come to that conclusion even though there are currently broken dependencies. I realize that the depsolver asks "who else needs perl-5.10.0-53.fc11?" and gets teh answer: "no one". But IMVHO it should ask "who depends on any perl-*-*?" and then all those broken deps would be discovered and satisfied. Are there another consequences which I'm not aware of? Can you confirm that: yum update perl\* ...updates everything? Also what does "yum --version" say? > yum update perl\* ...updates everything?
Yes, this is about to update all the packages. (The transaction check has not been performed, because I have answered "N" to the question, as I don't know about a convenient way to roll back.)

Can you paste the output from: yum list installed perl\* re-ping on the needed info. re-ping. (In reply to comment #6) > Can you paste the output from: yum list installed perl\* Sorry for the delay, I supposed that comment #3 gives all the necessary clues, and happily updated my computer. Attached below please find the current list, where the bug does not appear. To get an output similar to what I had back then, please replace all "-58.fc11" by "-52.fc11" except for "perl" and "perl-libs" which were "-53.fc11". If this emulation is not enough, I can try to reproduce the bug again and then sent a real output of the command.

perl-suidperl.i386 4:5.10.0-58.fc11 installed perl-version.i386 3:0.74-58.fc11 installed OK, I reproduced the bug today. First, I ran yum update "*yum*" "*rpm*' to make sure that the relevant software is up to date; have I missed something. Then I reproduced the bug, removed all perl modules that were not needed, and verified that the bug is still there. So here is the answer to your question: $ yum list installed perl\* Installed Packages perl.i386 4:5.10.0-56.fc11 installed perl-DBD-MySQL.i386 4.005-8.fc9 installed perl-DBI.i386 1.607-1.fc10 installed perl-Date-Manip.noarch 5.54-1.fc11 installed perl-Error.noarch 1:0.17015-1.fc10 installed perl-File-Next.noarch 1.02-2.fc9 installed perl-Git.noarch 1.6.2-1.fc11 installed perl-HTML-Parser.i386 3.56-5.fc9 installed perl-HTML-Tagset.noarch 3.10-8.fc9 installed perl-Module-Pluggable.i386 1:3.60-58.fc11 installed perl-Pod-Escapes.i386 1:1.04-58.fc11 installed perl-Pod-Simple.i386 1:3.07-58.fc11 installed perl-SGMLSpm.noarch 1.03ii-18.fc9 installed perl-TermReadKey.i386 2.30-6.fc9 installed perl-URI.noarch 1.35-8.fc9 installed perl-libs.i386 4:5.10.0-56.fc11 installed perl-version.i386 3:0.74-58.fc11 installed This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping (In reply to comment #11) > reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Sure, but it is still alive end well. This time I experienced this with sqlite: # rpm -qa 'sqlite*' sqlite-3.6.12-1.fc11.i586 sqlite-devel-3.6.14-2.fc12.i586 # yum update sqlite [...] ---> Package sqlite.i586 0:3.6.14.2-1.fc12 set to be updated [...] Install 0 Package(s) Update 1 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) [...] Running rpm_check_debug ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: sqlite = 3.6.14-2.fc12 is needed by (installed) sqlite-devel-3.6.14-2.fc12.i586 Complete! (1, [u'Please report this error in http://yum.baseurl.org/report']) > Changing version to '11'. Don't do it. I reverted that change and added magic key "FutureFeature" to prevent repeating of the incident. And you're getting this on which version of yum? # rpm -qa 'sqlite*' sqlite-3.6.12-1.fc11.i586 sqlite-devel-3.6.14-2.fc12.i586 ...this means you're rpmdb is foobar, because the above can't happen (sqlite-devel requires it's exact version of sqlite). My guess is you want to run: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest ping? status needed - this feels like a notabug - but I'd appreciate some feedback. (In reply to comment #13) > And you're getting this on which version of yum? yum-3.2.23-9.fc12 Previously observed with: yum-3.2.21-7.fc11 yum-3.2.23-3.fc12 (In reply to comment #15) > this feels like a notabug I wouldn't say so. Let me explain. First, the problem can appear only if the rpm db contains unsatisfied dependences. So, being strict, one might say: "the dependecies were broken, the behavior is undefined, hence notabug". But I think that even in this situation, yum should do better. Description of the problem: - Packages A-1.0 and B-2.0 are both installed. - B requires "A = 2.0", which is a broken dependency. - The latest versions in the repo are A-3.0 and B-3.0 Run "yum update A". The depsolver find about A-3.0, yum downloads it. Then rpm_check_debug is run and it find out the broken dependency between A and B. I think that the depsolver should find out about the problem that is going to happen and update B as well. A naive analysis: It seems that currently the depsolver asks the question "Who requires A-1.0?"; the answer is "no one," of course. But the depsolver could instead ask "What are all the versioned requires of A?", then filter those that are going to break and try to update the corresponding packages. What happens is this: yum update A 1. yum sees that A provides A-1.0 2a. yum asks does anything require A-1.0 2b. yum gets answer "no", because B requires A-2.0 3. yum comes to the conclusion that upgrading A will not affect anything else. ...in general we aren't going to fix this because our advise is "don't install stuff with --nodeps". However if you do "yum reinstall B" or "yum update B" yum will probably fix everything. |
Created attachment 330656 [details] verbose log "yum update perl" is not able to resolve dependencies on my machine. See the attached output of "yum -v update perl 2>&1". Forgive me that I set the priority to "urgent"; the situation is probably volatile and I may need to update my machine eventually, so there is only a limited time when I can provide details about the configuration that triggered the error. (The error message tells me to report to yum.baseurl.org/report. Well, I'm disciplined and applied for an account there. I might even file a Trac ticket tomorrow, if the answer arrives until then. But wouldn't it be better if Fedora's yum directed people to b.r.c?)
