Description Flags
Full output from yum when installing haskell-platform none

Description Kanak Kshetri 2011-05-08 13:31:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

I cannot currently install haskell-platform because a lot of components are reporting a "Package ghc-libs is obsoleted by ghc, but obsoleting package does not provide for requirements".

yum install --skip-broken haskell-platform causes almost all packages to be skipped.

rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest had no effect (problem persists even after doing that)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0:2010.2.0.0-1

How reproducible:
every time. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install haskell-platform
2. 
3.
  
Actual results:
Nothing is installed because yum complains that packages are broken.

Expected results:
haskell-platform would be installed.


Additional info:
The output from yum is attached.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2011-05-09 07:20:08 UTC 
Thanks for reporting this.  Looks like some yum "dependency hell" there.
ghc-libs no longer exists since it was split into individual subpackages
for better modularity.  Maybe I need to make ghc-deps.sh generate
explicit requires for binary packages too.
Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2011-05-09 07:28:11 UTC 
A workaround seems to be "yum install haskell-platform --exclude=ghc-libs".
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2011-05-09 09:40:43 UTC 
Thanks again for reporting this regression.

I am re-instating the ghc-libs subpackage in f14 in ghc-6.12.3-8.4.fc14
which is building now in Koji, along with a tightening up
of all the subpackage interdependencies.

The build is
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3059898
assuming it succeeds. :)

But it will be hard to test the fix until it goes into a yum repo.

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2011-05-10 02:37:55 UTC 
Take 2: forgot the "%files ghc-libs", so while ghc-6.12.3-8.4.fc14
"fixes" the problem it is not quite right.

Building a new package http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3061678
to replace it.

Comment 11 Jens Petersen 2011-05-11 04:05:04 UTC 
ghc-6.12.3-8.5.fc14 is better but removing %posttrans scriptlet
in http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3064667
to avoid install/uninstall error from gen_contents_index.
