Created attachment 496377 [details]
Output of ``yum shell'' with the given input

Description of problem:
It appears that a rpm transaction in which a package that is being installed conflicts with a package that is being removed kills the transaction even though the conflicting package will not be installed when the transaction is over.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.8.1-5.fc14.x86_64
yum-3.2.28-5.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ``yum install supybot''
2. Run ``yum shell --nogpg'' with the following inputs:
2.1. erase supybot
2.2. install http://homepages.spa.umn.edu/~holms/supybot-gribble-0.83.4.1-1.fc14.noarch.rpm
2.3. run
  
Actual results:
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
supybot conflicts with supybot-gribble-0.83.4.1-1.fc14.noarch

(See attachment for full output)

Expected results:
supybot-gribble replaces supybot in the same transaction

Comment 1 Garrett Holmstrom 2011-05-02 21:59:51 UTC
It looks like I mis-diagnosed this:  the supybot-gribble package conflicted with itself, which made yum and rpm disagree with one another as to whether or not to allow the transaction.  Bug 701456 has a more concise test case for the issue.
