file /usr/share/themes/Nodoka/gtk-2.0/gtkrc from install of gtk-nodoka-engine-0.7.2-8.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package gtk-nodoka-engine-0.7.2-6.fc1 ...yum can't see file conflicts, due to lack of data. This might work if the package conflicts with versions of itself that aren't == current version. That isn't ideal though. But can't yum offer to upgrade x86_64 version when if finds out older version is conflicting? At least it resolves the file conflict to a package conflict when it prints the error message. Yum isn't doing that bit, rpm is. And by that time yum can't easily go back and change it's mind about what it should do. But yum could do: I'm installing foo.i686, do I have foo.x86_64 installed? If so - do the versions match? B/c in, conservatively, 95% of the cases if the versions don't match you're in for a file conflict. I'll reopen this as a potential item for later. This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. We didn't/won't fix this for Fedora 12 ... but we did fix this upstream. |
