Reassiging to cups, as this is a sub-package of cups.

IIRC, this extension is no more provided. So I think this is not a bug.

Comment 2 Jiri Popelka 2013-06-10 11:25:54 UTC
Jiri, have you been actually using the cups-php (PHP CUPS extension module) ?

This module has been dropped by CUPS upstream since cups-1.6 and has been picked by cups-filters project. I tried to build it once I packaged cups-filters (and today once more) but with no luck - the code needs some updates. I spoke to Tim and he thinks the module has never been particularly useful and perhaps we could let it die for now and maybe try to ship it with cups-filters once somebody explicitly requests it.

So I'll just make cups-filters-libs Obsolete&Provide cups-php for now (without actually providing the module).

Comment 3 jiri vanek 2013-06-10 11:34:53 UTC
In such case  it should be ok to add Obsoletes. So the underlying package will be removed during update. Then it should be ok.

Comment 4 Remi Collet 2013-06-10 11:49:54 UTC

I mostly disagree. If the package disappear, without being replaced, it should not be obsoleted/provided.

Yes, this cause a trouble during update, but this also raises user attention to fix it.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2013-06-10 18:12:06 UTC
Discussed at 2013-06-10 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-10/f19final-blocker-review-4.2013-06-10-16.01.log.txt . Rejected as a blocker: we only block on upgrades of the default GNOME package set, default KDE package set and minimal install package set, and cups-php isn't in any of those. Variant package sets are only on a 'best effort' basis.

Note that this can be fixed for repo-based upgrades with a post-release update (media-based upgrades aren't working right now anyway...), and can be trivially worked around by just removing cups-php prior to the upgrade attempt, which is more or less what the 'fix' will cause to happen anyway.

Comment 7 Jiri Popelka 2013-06-12 10:09:09 UTC
I've added only
Obsoletes: cups-php < 1:1.6.0-1
per
