Description stan 2013-11-26 18:18:57 UTC
Description of problem:
When running a yum update on FC20, I get an error during the update of openscap-content.  It is being made obsolete, and replaced by scap-security-guide.  But firstaidkit has a dependency on openscap-content.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstaidkit-plugin-openscap-0.3.2-7.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Have openscap-content and firstaidkit-plugin-openscap installed
2.  Run yum update.
3.

Actual results:
Error: Package: firstaidkit-plugin-openscap-0.3.2-7.fc20.noarch (installed)
           Requires: openscap-content >= 0.7.2
           Removing: openscap-content-0.9.12-2.fc20.noarch (installed)
               openscap-content = 0.9.12-2.fc20
           Obsoleted By: scap-security-guide-0.1-3.1.fc20.noarch (updates-testing)
               Not found

Expected results:
Complete!

The package is not useful anymore and was retired from Fedora as of now.

Thanks. Some questions:
1) Does this mean the package is orphaned and will be eventually removed from Fedora repository?
2) Where is that documented? Is there any end user errata?
3) Is there any packaging way to allow openscap to remove firstaidkit on a "yum upgrade", as it's not useful anymore?
4) Is there any substitute of firstaidkit?

I mean, aside from firstaidkit package flags:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/firstaidkit
I cannot find any reliable source of what's happening to the package, and how a user should deal with it.

Comment 5 Martin Sivák 2013-12-10 14:58:58 UTC
1) Yes

2) Not really, but the package is not really used or maintained anymore (ad hasn't been for at least two years),

3) Yes, they can (and should) provide openscap-content and firstaidkit-plugin-openscap in their new package. That way the package will be removed when you install scap-security-guide.

4) No there is no substitute for firstaidkit apart from openscap. They provide all features that firstaidkit ever had.
