Description Steve Friedman 2003-02-21 18:35:02 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020829

Description of problem:
On an upgrade, the installer should not touch any RPMs that it doesn't recognize
or that are later than the ones on the CD. 

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install RH8.0 from the CD-ROMS.
2.Install some 3rd party RPMs and/or upgrade some RPMs
3.Realizing that I needed some additional RPMs from the CDs, I placed install
CD#1of3 into the drive.
    

Actual Results:  The system automatically brought up a dialog box that led me
through the list of packages to install.  After making my selection, a summary
screen was displayed showing the list of new RPMs to add and the RPMs that it
intended to delete.  Amongst those RPMs were the ones that I added

Expected Results:  The 3rd party RPMs should not be deleted.

Additional info:

The reason the installer said that it needed to remove those RPMs is that they
probably conflict with the RPMs that are necessary to be installed so that Red
Hat packages work properly.  Which RPMs did you install that Anaconda wished to
remove before proceeding?

Comment 2 Steve Friedman 2003-02-23 20:16:32 UTC
There were four packages indicated for deletion.  Of these, one was an upgrade 
to expect and we wrote the other 3.  Two of the three that we wrote had *no* 
interaction with any other file on the system and I am not certain of the 
remaining RPM.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2003-03-24 17:24:36 UTC
Could you provide the output of rpm -q, rpm -qR, and rpm -q --provides for each
of these packages?

Comment 4 Steve Friedman 2003-03-25 16:21:18 UTC
Created attachment 90713 [details]
Output of rpm -q queries for the four rpms.

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2003-04-23 02:11:37 UTC
Ermm... in this format, I can't tell what lines go with which commands :)  Could
you split it up and make it obvious which goes with which?
