Description Marcela Mašláňová 2011-11-21 15:17:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
New dependency is not picked by yum and transaction failed because of missing package, which is in repository.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.4.3-5.fc16.noarch
reproducible in F-16

How reproducible:
Everytime. I started with removal of PackageKit-* week ago. And today I wanted run update.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update
2. everything looks fine, so press Y
3. transaction failed because:
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin is needed by phonon-backend-gstreamer.

Luckily, I have the failed transaction, so you can look at it.
  
Actual results:
New dependency is not picked by yum. 

Expected results:
Install missing dependency if available in repository. I believe PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin should be found before user is asked to press Y, so it should be in list of packages prepared to update/install.

 The yumtx file isn't that useful.
 What we need to see is the output from yum ... at a guess you broke the deps. for the system when you removed PackageKit-*, as that has not been possible since F15 AIUI (without removing gdm too). And yum ignores deps. that _should_ already be satisfied, "yum check" will show you those problems (and should run automatically on failures).

I guess if yum is designed to work like that then you don't have to fix anything.
