From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: I used up2date 10-30-2003 and it had to update about 20 packages. During it installation of kernel-source up2date died because it could not install the package. The problem now is, that all packages that where to be installed after kernel-source are de-installed! Now, on my system openoffice and, of course, kernel-source are missing! There were another 10 packages that might not be there, but unfortunately I updated in a console window so there is no scrollback buffer available to find out what other packages are missing. I can live with this happening during the test-phase of fedora, but I think this is a showstopper for production! Michael Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.1.14-2 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a package that exits with an error together with some good packages 2. up2date --update 3. look at rpm-database, all packages that were to be installed after the bad one should be missing Expected Results: At least there should be an error message, that packages are missing now. Best would have been to rollback the install / or to continue installation and then to show an error message that the defective package could not be installed Additional info:
Not exactly the same bug, but it's a symptom of the same underlying problem. Too bad it's a WONTFIX :-( *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 106514 ***
This looks like a closer relation to my bug #108652 than the one it's been marked as duplicating here.
Well, it's two bugs: (i) up2date didn't sanity-check before handing packages to the rpm transaction (108652), and (ii) rpm transaction failed and removed packages (106514). Unfortunately, it can only be a dup of one bug in bugzilla. And then, since it's a dup, it doesn't matter all that much anyway.
