Description Karel Srot 2012-11-02 14:58:01 UTC

Description of problem:

because the yum uses a bit different (and more complicated) depsolver, it cannot simply deal with updates from arch to noarch package and vice versa.

virt-manager should explicitly obsolete the noarch version so it is properly updated.

The issue was originally filed as yum bug 727606, please see
comments  727606#c18 and 727606#c19 for more details.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to update virt-manager-0.8.6.noarch -> 0.9.x86_64 with yum
  
Actual results:
not updated

Expected results:
pkg updated properly

I cannot reproduce this bug either, my steps are same as Martin:

Comment 3 Karel Srot 2012-11-05 06:55:46 UTC

Hi,
I am sorry I wasn't precise in the bug description. The problem appears with yum localupdate, not yum update (727606#c0 or 727606#c17).

Comment 4 Geyang Kong 2012-11-05 08:20:39 UTC

I've retried following steps and reproduced this bug now:

1. Install rhel6.2 with virtualization tools
2. Make sure it has virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch
3. Make a rhel6.4 repo(since virt-manager-0.9.0-15 depends on some other packages so this step is necessary).
4. Download virt-manager-0.9.0-15.el6.x86_64.rpm
5. yum update virt-manager
6. rpm -e virt-manager
7. Delete the yum repo created in step 3.(This step is necessary, or yum update will work well)
8. Download virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch.rpm and install it.
9. yum update virt-manager-0.9.0-15.el6.x86_64.rpm

Result:
[root@localhost Downloads]# yum update virt-manager-0.9.0-15.el6.x86_64.rpm 
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, subscription-manager

Comment 7 Geyang Kong 2012-12-04 02:45:49 UTC

Verified pass on the following build:
virt-manager-0.9.0-16.el6.x86_64

Steps:
Same as Comment 4

Result:
1. Virt-manager can be updated by yum from noarch to x86_64 arch.

So mark this bug as VERIFIED.
