rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
From both examples, it seems, Best Order fails to list already installed packages. rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Run that command and let me know what it returns. It is clean. [pravi@savannah mozilla]$ rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest [pravi@savannah mozilla]$ It returns nothing. What's happening with yum-builddep needs to be fixed - but I'm not sure the 'these two pkgs conflict' is necessarily a problem. Is your objection that it is not saying "fedora-bookmarks provides system-bookmarks and is already installed"? Yes, that would be a much better output. Even better # yum install generic-release ... fedora-release is already installed and conflicts with generic-release. Would you like replace fedora-release with generic release? Y/N Similarly, replacing fedora-bookmarks by astronomy bookmarks. Currently I have to use yum shell to workaround this. firefox depends on system-bookmarks, which is already provided by fedora-bookmarks. So there is nothing stopping yum to fail, but it does anyway. This happens because yum finds astronomy-bookmarks has higher priority than fedora-bookmarks (from the debug output, it is clear yum is ignoring fedora-bookmarks), which is not the case. Moreover yum install system-bookmarks also fails, so it is not a bug with firefox. # yum install astronomy-bookmarks (ie, specific package in provider list of a virtual package) should offer a similar dialogue as Rahul suggested, but if it is # yum install system-bookmarks (ie, virtual package directly) If any of the installed packages provides it, it should be sufficient. If none of the installed packages provide it and there is more than one available packages provide it, the user should be given an option to choose from a list of providers. I don't think the above install tests are valid because requires != install.
For instance:
"yum install MTA" wants to install postfix, but yum shouldn't ask to install it when processing "requires: MTA".
I think the bug is in yum-builddep which does:
pkg = self.returnPackageByDep(dep)
print pkg
if not self.rpmdb.installed(name=pkg.name):
self.tsInfo.addInstall(pkg)
...which is wrong, for this case, unless returnPackageByDep() used to always return an installed pkg if an installed pkg resolved the dep. and we changed it.
James, if the bug is in yum-builddep, then why # yum install system-bookmarks (using plain yum) fails, when fedora-bookmarks already provides it? "yum install system-bookmarks" doesn't "fail". It tries to do what you asked it to, which is install a package which provides system-bookmarks. We could change that, and maybe that would be better in the general case ... but it would be "interesting" in a few cases (Eg. foo installed which provides bar, but bar is a real pkg ... "yum install bar" would be painful to do "nothing" here, and probably insane).
Anyway, here is a patch (against yum) which changes returnPackageByDep() to act like yum-builddeb seems to assume it will (but I'm not sure has ever been guaranteed):
