Description corasian 2012-07-31 18:39:13 UTC

Description of problem:
when running yum install gcc on a Fedora 16 VM (in a xen 4.1 environment), a) the installation of glibc-common causes the host machine to kernel dump (with a cpu fault) and b) the following packages are marked as duplicates in yum (even after completing the transaction after the reboot):

 
glibc-2.14.90-24.fc16.7.i686
glibc-2.14.90-14.i686
libgcc-4.6.3-2.fc16.i686
libgcc-4.6.2-1.fc16.i686
glibc-common-2.14.90-24.fc16.7.i686
glibc-common-2.14.90-14.i686


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4.3/24.fc16

How reproducible:
freshly installed/updated fedora 16 image on a xen 4.x HVM (tested with same results on 4.0, 4.1, 4.2), run yum install gcc.  


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install fedora via PXE/cd image/direct image onto a Xen 4.x HVM
2.Run yum install gcc
3.Watch the Host machine reboot
  
Actual results:
Xen host reboots with the following stack trace output:

Expected results:
gcc (and dependencies installed successfully, and previous version duplicates are effectively removed.

Additional info:
I will also post this bug in the xen queue for that portion of this issue, The primary interest in this particular bug porting is the behaviour of yum not being happy wit the new vs/ the old versions of the aforementioned packages.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 16:50:19 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 20:53:24 UTC

Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
