Comment 1 greg pearson 2013-06-25 20:25:54 UTC

yum update fails when request package is present on system:

Downloading Packages:
Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
libsmbios is needed by (installed) smbios-utils-bin
Complete!
(1, [u'Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?pro     duct=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%205&component=yum'])
[root@phusem-s3704 ~]# rpm -qa |grep libsmbios
libsmbios-2.2.19-5.1.el4

Comment 2 Jan Zeleny 2013-06-26 06:24:02 UTC

Probably not a bug in yum. Could you post a complete information yum shows you? It is probably doing something like trying to replace libsmbios with a newer package that does not provide the required symbol.

Comment 3 Karel Srot 2013-12-16 10:24:27 UTC

Reducing the severity. 

Greg,
could you provide more details about the bug? Is it still an issue?

Comment 4 James Antill 2013-12-19 04:31:09 UTC

 This is likely due to a preexisting problem on the system (Eg. using --nodeps, or a transaction abort). Eg. see:

rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
