Description of problem:
During installation, after the packages are selected, a dialog pops up with
packages that were not chosen but are needed by other packages. The only options
are to install all of them, go back, or ignore and continue. There should be a
way to deselect the packages that were chosen that caused the problem.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Seems pretty related to bug 8495.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 8495 ***

I dont think this is a duplicate.  It is different than 8495

Steps to reproduce  upgrade from 7.3 to 8.0 (not sure this is needed).

Select upgrade, select customize packages, switch to flat display, hit continue,
after pause it lists dependencies that are not met. Hitting back button shows
that the files to be installed that have dependencies are not selected. Going
forward again shows the same mistaken dependency list  some of the packages are
listed with unknown dependencies??

Going back to tree display doesnt seem to fix it.

Im using a BIOSTAR AMD motherboard here with VIA chip set, Nvidia display card.

I came upon this bug after installing a clean 8.0 install that seemed corrupted
(wouldnt let me start Gnome  after startx it hangs. No response to
<cnt-alt-bksp> or <cnt-alt-del> requires hard reboot).  rpm Va doesnt show any
dependency problems though. Dont get any info in logs. startkde complains there
is no $DISPLAY.


I reinstalled 7.3  no problems.  I have swapped Motherboards, processor,
harddrive, and memory. Cant install picking custom packages and get desktops to
start.  (Xtest will run). Now seeing this bug, Im wondering if the problem is
wrong dependencies corrupt rpm database?? Ive done the chk media.
