Thanks for your report. I can't answer for Jonathan's reasoning when doing the packaging change in a release branch. I'm only his new co-maintainer. But given that it is done, it would probably just make things worse to try to revert it. I'll add the additional tag. There actually is a Provides/Obsoletes in release 7 already. But unfortunately, it obsoleted versions with release <= 6. When a dist tag is added, as in 6.fc17, that package is considered greater than 6, so the obsoleting didn't happen. I'll change it to release < 7 instead. emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 Package emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-10282/emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: # yum upgrade Error: Package: 1:emacs-bbdb-el-2.35-6.fc17.noarch (@base) Requires: emacs-bbdb = 1:2.35-6.fc17 Removing: 1:emacs-bbdb-2.35-6.fc17.noarch (@base) emacs-bbdb = 1:2.35-6.fc17 Updated By: 1:emacs-bbdb-2.35-7.fc17.noarch (updates) emacs-bbdb = 1:2.35-7.fc17 This happens because of missing Provides:/Obsoletes: in emacs-bbdb. Btw: please avoid such packaging changes (removal of -el subpackage) during a release; it's a non-trivial modification without much use and its effects are difficultly to overview.
