Description Marian Ganisin 2009-08-31 15:34:53 UTC

Description of problem:
Sun java plugin rpm package from supplementary set requires /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory. This dir is provided by several packages (xulrunner for example). If there is no such package installed, yum selects kdebase by default, it has dependency to samba-common. samba-common package is in conflict samba3x packages placed in supplementary. This situation causes dependency error, when installing all supplementary packages (actually when installing java sun plugin and samba3x packages)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL5.4-Server-RC-3.0
RHEL5.4-Server-Supplementary-RC-3.0

Also x86_64 architecture is affected, same behavior on Client and Server.

How reproducible:
1. Install basic system, ensure there is no package providing /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins,
2. use yum to install all supplementary packages (configure repo or use yum localinstall)

Comment 1 Brock Organ 2009-08-31 15:43:34 UTC

The impact for this bug is that depending on which packages selected as part of the RHEL install, the samba3x packages on the supplementary CDs might not install due to package dependency errors ...

Comment 3 Daniel Mach 2009-09-01 13:06:08 UTC

What's the proposed solution?
I'd prefer a release note, if possible.

Comment 4 Marian Ganisin 2009-10-29 13:31:59 UTC

I don't see any objection from QA point of view against release note.

Comment 5 Daniel Mach 2009-10-29 13:44:58 UTC

Ok, let's do a release note.

Comment 7 Pavel Holica 2009-12-15 10:29:17 UTC

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.

New Contents:
* cause:
Installating java-1.6.0-sun-plugin and samba3x while not having xulrunner installed.

* consequence:
samba3x conflicts with samba-common (due to kdebase dependencies).
This causes, that the yum transaction cannot be completed successfully.

* workaround:
install xulrunner before (or while) installing java-1.6.0-sun-plugin.

* result:
both java-1.6.0-sun-plugin and samba3x are installed, but you can't install kdebase (that includes any KDE app) after doing this.

Comment 9 Pavel Holica 2009-12-15 10:43:43 UTC

This is proposal of release note.

Comment 11 Alexander Todorov 2010-01-14 13:03:09 UTC

Daniel,
are there any code changes for this or it's only release note? If release note only then we're safe to move to verified.

Comment 12 Daniel Mach 2010-01-14 13:12:14 UTC

Alex,
I do not know about any code changes.
The only change is that samba3x moved from Supplementary to Client and Server.
I'm ok with the release note.

Comment 13 Alexander Todorov 2010-01-14 14:07:11 UTC

OK. Moving to VERIFIED then.

Comment 14 Daniel Mach 2010-01-19 15:36:02 UTC

Things have changed, samba3x moved from Supplementary to Client/Server.
We'll need to fix this issue, a release note is not enough.

Reassigning to samba3x component.
