That's definitely a strange "chicken-or-the-egg" problem you have there. Instead of upgrading the editor and development packages - your workaround (at present) could be to revert back to the older versions and then upgrade all at once. The Requires: in imlib-{cfgeditor,devel} should
be written with an explicit epoch.
Meanwhile, adding imlib-{cfgeditor,devel} to the
same transaction (i.e. just like sawfish) should get
you out of chicken vs. egg.
Off to imlib for Requires: fix ...
The epoch is needed in the Requires tag, fixed in Rawhide. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Trying to upgrade from imlib version 1.9.13-2.7.x to version 1.9.13-9 works for imlib-cfgeditor and imlib-devel. But when after that trying to upgrade the imlib package itself, rpm complains that the newly installed imlib-cfgeditor and imlib-devel needs "imlib = 1.9.13". As if the new imlib package had some other version. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):4.1-1.06 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start with system with version 1.9.13-2.7.x of the imlib packages. 2.Upgrade first imlib-cfgeditor to 1.9.13-9, and then imlib-devel uebn> rpm -q imlib imlib-devel imlib-cfgeditor imlib-1.9.13-2.7.x imlib-devel-1.9.13-9 imlib-cfgeditor-1.9.13-9 3.Try to upgrade the main imlib package too uebn### env LANG=C rpm -U imlib-1.9.13-9.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libImlib.so.1 is needed by (installed) sawfish-0.30.3-1 imlib = 1.9.13 is needed by (installed) imlib-cfgeditor-1.9.13-9 imlib = 1.9.13 is needed by (installed) imlib-devel-1.9.13-9 Additional info: To upgrade cleanly, I of course upgrade sawfish at the same time. That removes the complaint about sawfish as expected, but the other two remain. This could of course be some kind of packaging error in imlib. I can't see what, so I'm posting this under rpm to begin with. One detail I've observed is that imlib has an epoch, it provides "imlib = 1:1.9.13-2.7.x", while the subpackages requires only the version. This seems slightly suspect, but I'm not sure about the intended behaviour here. And in any case, the old imlib-1.9.13-2.7.x also uses an epoch. So if this would have been the error, it would have shown already when I installed that package, and not now when upgrading to the one from RH8.0.
