Description of problem: For some groups some mandatory packages are not resolvable neither by `yum list` nor `yum install`. Some Packages fail on `yum list` but work just great with `yum install`. Note: I am not sure if this is correct component to file a bug against. If I should split up the report to the corresponding packages, I will do so. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install vanilla Fedora 20 BETA 2. open terminal 3. use `yum group info`, `yum list`, `yum install` commands to find broken package connections Actual results: The following list contains packages that are not available according to `yum list ${PACKAGE}` and cannot not be resolved by `yum install ${PACKAGE}` Note: I left out items that failed for `yum list` but were resolved by `yum install`, like: # sudo yum group info mongodb There is no installed groups file. Group: MongoDB Group-Id: mongodb Description: Scalable high-performance NoSQL database. Mandatory Packages: +libmongodb +mongodb +mongodb-devel +mongodb-server # sudo yum list mongodb-devel Error: No matching Packages to list # sudo yum install mongodb-devel Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package libmongodb-devel.x86_64 0:2.4.6-1.fc20 will be installed ... The list is sorted by group name. Below the group name the packages are prefixed with "* ". anaconda-tools * extlinux-bootloader * s390utils-base * s390utils * uboot-beaglebone * uboot-beagle * uboot-origen * uboot-panda * uboot-smdkv310 * uboot-wandboard_dl * uboot-wandboard_quad * uboot-wandboard_solo * yaboot base-x * xorg-x11-drv-geode * xorg-x11-drv-omap cloud-infrastructure * aeolus-all core * ppc64-utils eclipse * eclipse-phpeclipse electronic-lab * arm-gp2x-linux-binutils * arm-gp2x-linux-gcc-c++ * arm-gp2x-linux-gcc * arm-gp2x-linux-glibc * arm-gp2x-linux-kernel-headers * arm-gp2x-linux-SDL * arm-gp2x-linux-zlib * simulavr font-design * gnome-specimen freeipa-server * freeipa-server-strict gnome-software-development * gnome-panel-devel graphical-internet * checkgmail graphics * makehuman hardware-support * ql2100-firmware * ql2200-firmware * ql23xx-firmware jbossas * jboss-as mate-desktop * libmatenotify office * libreoffice-javafilter * libreoffice-report-builder security-lab * prelude-lml * prelude-manager * prewikka * sshscan sound-and-video * bluez-alsa * ushare system-tools * fedora-package-config-smart system-tools * ksmarttray * smart * smart-gui * tiobench xfce-extra-plugins * xfce4-websearch-plugin web-server * vdr-wapd Expected results: packages should be resolvable OR should not be listed at all Additional information: I wrote a script to automate the commands as much as possible. If you are interested in it I can attach it.
A chunk of these are packages that are architecture-specific. James - does having them missing on other arches but still in comps have any effects on the groups-as-objects code? The ones that aren't arch specific can be removed, or replaced with the packages that obsolete them.
It might be time to remove xorg-x11-drv-geode from Fedora. IIRC modern kernels can't even boot on that hardware, and maybe even the userspace compile flags are now incompatible with the instruction set on the processor?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
