1. what does a ' koji-based system' mean? 2. can you include the full output of: yum -d 7 update so we can see what pkgs are being updated that are pulling in kde requirements? Created attachment 361122 [details] Output of 'yum -d 7 update' after downgrading to (obsolete) package PolicyKit-kde 1. This means that a file fedora-koji.repo is present in /etc/yum.repos.d, all other repos being disabled, and its content reading [koji] name= koji - Koji Development Packages baseurl=http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/dist-f12-build-current/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 2. It seems as if the culprit was PolicyKit-kde [full log attached] which became evident after forcing the downgrade to (obsolete) package PolicyKit-kde and of related packages. kdebase-workspace also replaces polkit-qt with the same effect. so PolicyKit-kde is obsoleted by kdebase-workspace which is what is pulling in everything? If so - then shouldn't this bug report go to the pkgers of those packages? (In reply to comment #4) Doesn't sound that stupid after all .. Why did you have PolicyKit-kde and polkit-qt installed on a non-KDE system in the first place? This stuff was only dragged in by KDE (kdebase-workspace itself and kpackagekit), so it's normal that KDE is obsoleting it out. (In reply to comment #6) Looking at /root/install.log of the "rawhide" install, two entries are particularly interesting: Installing PolicyKit-0.9-6.fc11.x86_64 Installing PolicyKit-kde-4.3.1-3.fc12.x86_64 I had chosen language support for French and Spanish which triggered Installing kde-filesystem-4-30.fc12.noarch Installing kde-l10n-French-4.3.1-2.fc12.noarch Installing kde-l10n-Spanish-4.3.1-2.fc12.noarch Installing kde-settings-4.3-6.1.noarch Installing kdelibs-common-4.3.1-3.fc12.x86_64 Installing kdelibs-4.3.1-3.fc12.x86_64 even on a pure GNOME system. A further dependency for PolicyKit-kde led to Installing polkit-qt-0.9.2-2.fc12.x86_64 Now, the interesting point is that system-config-services-0.99.39-1.fc12.noarch requires PolicyKit-authentication-agent which is provided either by PolicyKit-kde or by PolicyKit-gnome. However, it is the former which got pulled in instead of the latter. After installing PolicyKit-gnome-0.9.2-5.fc12.x86_64 and PolicyKit-gnome-libs-0.9.2-5.fc12.x86_64, PolicyKit-kde can actually be removed without complaint, likewise polkit-qt. Btw, disabling the Koji branch and enabling the "rawhide" repository does not make any difference regarding the issue reported above. I guess that's a Rawhide-only issue. F11 installs had PolicyKit-gnome dragged in by the GNOME comps group, so they shouldn't have received -kde on pure GNOME systems. But anyway, if the consensus is that polkit should be what obsoletes PolicyKit-kde and polkit-qt, I can drop the Obsoletes from kdebase-workspace. (I just put them there for lack of a better place to put them.) fwiw, PolicyKit-kde no longer exists on F-12 (or soon won't), problem solved. Oh, the Obsoletes issue remains, sorry. Kevin's suggestion in comment #9 about moving the Obsoletes make sense. Talked out load (and with jreznik) in irc a bit, and I changed my mind. With a kde authenticator making a comeback in the not-too-distant future, doing the obsoletes outside of kde packaging and getting the versioning right and safe would be tricky. So is this a WONTFIX?

On Sep 25, 2009, I have performed another install from scratch from the "rawhide" tree similarly to the one preceding this bug report. There are no '*kde*' installed anymore, not even the language related ones. For system upgrades this might look different, but they are not supported for the transition from development snapshots to F12 anyway, and F11 did not have this problem either. Well, then I'd say this is just part of the regular Rawhide pain and it's already fixed for current Rawhide installs, so closing. |
