This bug should have been filed under RHEL5, sorry for the mixup. I do not have permission to change the product. (In reply to comment #0) > ruby 1.8.5.114-1.fc6 Hello David, where did you got this Ruby version? It appears to be installed from Fedora Core 6? Try to uninstall Ruby and install the Ruby from RHEL repository. And yes, the ruby-irb is strict about its requirements. It is subpackage of ruby package, that is also the reason why you cannot find ruby-irb component in BZ. Hi Vít, Thank you for your response. This package must have come from EPEL as that is the only 3rd party repository active on the machine (and I have not installed any packages manually). However I can't seem to find it in the EPEL repo now, and I was able to successfully downgrade to the current RHEL5 version. Please close this bug and sorry for the unnecessary bugspam. Well the EPEL policy [1] is just to extend RHEL, not replace packages. Not sure if there were days when RHEL-5 did not contained Ruby and they were provided just by EPEL.

Description of problem: The ruby-irb package from RHEL5 has a too-specific version dependency on ruby. This makes it incompatible with the ruby package from EPEL (needed by many EPEL packages), and therefore causes brokenness on systems with EPEL repos enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ruby-irb.i386 1.8.5-5.el5_4.8 ruby 1.8.5.114-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add EPEL repo to sources 2. Update system 3. Try to install ruby-irb package Actual results: root@pmonitor02 ~ # yum install ruby-irb Loaded plugins: downloadonly, rhnplugin, security Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package ruby-irb.i386 0:1.8.5-5.el5_4.8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: ruby = 1.8.5-5.el5_4.8 for package: ruby-irb --> Finished Dependency Resolution ruby-irb-1.8.5-5.el5_4.8.i386 from rhel-i386-server-5 has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: ruby = 1.8.5-5.el5_4.8 is needed by package ruby-irb-1.8.5-5.el5_4.8.i386 (rhel-i386-server-5) Error: Missing Dependency: ruby = 1.8.5-5.el5_4.8 is needed by package ruby-irb-1.8.5-5.el5_4.8.i386 (rhel-i386-server-5) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Expected results: Package is installed (is the specific version in depends really required?) Additional info: I couldn't find the ruby-irb package in bugtracker, so I'm filing it against ruby.
