Description Michal Jaegermann 2012-04-25 17:34:51 UTC

Description of problem:

Quite a number of devel packages requires db4-devel. OTOH an attempt to update
apr-util-devel to 1.4.1-3.fc18.x86_64 tries to pull in version 5.3.15-2.fc18 od libdb-devel due to dependencies. apr-util-devel is there also due to other requirements. All of this results in

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/include/db.h from install of libdb-devel-5.3.15-2.fc18.x86_64 conflicts with file from package db4-devel-4.8.30-9.fc18.x86_64
  file /usr/include/db_185.h from install of libdb-devel-5.3.15-2.fc18.x86_64 conflicts with file from package db4-devel-4.8.30-9.fc18.x86_64

and the whole transaction fells apart.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libdb-devel-5.3.15-2.fc18
db4-devel-4.8.30-9.fc18
apr-util-devel-1.4.1-3.fc18

Comment 1 Michal Jaegermann 2012-04-25 18:03:11 UTC

Further experiments show that the following would "nearly" work with
'yum shell':

   remove db4-devel
   update apr-util-devel
   ts run

That would suggest that maybe suitable obsoletes/provides are just missing.

The above is "nearly" in the current setup as libgda-devel has a dependency on db4-devel and "update apr-util-devel" attempts to get libdb-devel.  What else could want db4-devel I do not know.

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2012-05-04 19:27:50 UTC

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts

For the packages to be parallel-installable, it may be necessary to move the headers *and* the .so symlink to a subdirectory. Even if that makes it slightly harder for db4-devel users as they would need to adjust search paths.

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2012-06-13 15:42:35 UTC

This is particularly annoying because --skip-broken cannot work around it.

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2012-07-09 20:53:00 UTC

This is still broken.

Comment 5 Jindrich Novy 2012-07-11 19:03:44 UTC

db4 is gone now. Please check if the problem persists and eventually reopen.

Thanks!
