Description Jan Synacek 2013-08-21 10:33:21 UTC

Description of problem:
Both tog-pegasus and sblim-sfcb provide a virtual Provide: cim-server that the openlmi-providers package depends on. If I want to remove for example openlmi-software and no other package depends on tog-pegasus, the tog-pegasus gets removed together with the openlmi-software.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.3.11-1.git7d717c7.fc20.noarch
openlmi-providers-0.1.1-2.fc20.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openlmi-software
2. Install tog-pegasus and sblim-sfcb
3. dnf remove openlmi-software
4. Observe


Actual results:
tog-pegasus is removed together with openlmi-software


Expected results:
only openlmi-software is removed


Additional info:
According to Ales Kozumplik, the DNF's author, this *is not* a bug, but a feature that will be on by default. That means that openlmi-providers should probably have its spec file reworked.

This is not correct. Step 2 should not be there. I somehow installed openlmi-software and tog-pegasus together (probably when there was no cim server installed, dnf install openlmi-software did that). Meanwhile I also installed sfcb. Step 3 removed tog-pegasus along with openlmi-software, because tog-pegasus was no longer needed by anything.
