Comment 1 Tomas Pelka 2011-03-23 16:21:58 UTC

OK get this issue working (package have to be installed), but one question:

Does PK query repository when getting requires. If yes there should be no such error if queried package is not installed, right?

I would say we can close this as NOTABUG.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 01:57:35 UTC

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

No. We used to, but yum exploded if we got the requires of a requires of a requires (* a few more) so we had to resort to "If I removed the package, what else would be removed"

Obviously, we need to ignore the system packages when we do this simulation, or fix yum not to explode.

Richard.

Thanks Richard, closing as NOTABUG.
