Bug 972857

Hi, can you paste the output of

'yum -assumeno update'

in this case?

Also does the problem still persist now when over a week has passed and DNF has newer metadata available?

Thanks.

Ales,

In the next comment ill past the output of that command or the benefit of clarity.  


I have no idea if the problem persisted, as I wound up forcing yum to update it, even pointing dnf at the opencv package and telling it to update just that package (using dnf update opencv) would return the "nothing to do" message. When I did the same command with yum (yum update opencv).

Also, my apologies for the late reply, I was in the field training all week. I tend to be much faster.

Command line error: no such option: -a

(This is the output from bash using my regular user account with no process elevation with sudo or su. I can always do it with sudo, elevate to root using su, or even fully log on to root if you need me to)

Ah, sorry, the command should be, as root:

yum --assumeno update

Can you please run it again?

Scratch comment 4. Now I see that you say in comment 2 that you already forced the update through Yum. That means it would be hard to debug this now and your DNF version is too old to support the solver debugging anyway. I am going to close this now but if you happen to run into the same bug again, hopefully with DNF version > 0.3.5, please reopen and attach the output of:

dnf --best --debugsolver upgrade opencv

Thank you.

Yes Sir, no problem at all. 

I plan on staying Fedora 18 for about a month or so (give or take) after the Fedora 19 release on 2 July on my bare metal while I test fc19 on a VM to make sure a certain piece of hardware I have to use works with no issues. That being said, if I do run across something like this again on this version I'll be sure to reopen it. 

V/R (Very respectfully, in case you've never seen that before)
