Description IBM Bug Proxy 2003-11-12 15:03:43 UTC
The following has be reported by IBM LTC:  
redhat-config-packages reports an improper message when removing packages
Hardware Environment: iSeries 64bit

Software Environment: RHEL 3 GA


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the redhat-config-packages application
2. Attempt to remove a package group like 'Office/Productivity'
3. Select 'Update'

Actual Results:
An error window pops up stating: 

  Package Not Found
  The following package could not be found on your system.
  Installation cannot continue until it is installed.

  Unlocatable Package      Required By
  kdepim                   (kdenetwork', '3.1.3', '1.5')

Expected Results:
The message above is confusing because the package actually is
installed.  
kdepim is one of the packages that I am trying to remove.  It can't be
removed 
because the kdenetwork package requires it.  The error message, however, 
suggests that the package can't be removed because it isn't installed.

The message it would be more accurate if it reported a dependency
problem and 
explained that the package below is required by the package indicated.

Additional Information:Glen / Greg / Mark,
Talked to Mike Ranweiler, please report problem to RedHat.  ThanksI
ever run into a similar problem on pSeries, following is my comment on
BZ# 
4475: 

------- Additional Comment #6 From Wu Zhou 2003-09-28 21:32 ------- 
The redhat-config-packages in RC1 is updated to 1.2.5-1. No traceback
while 
deleting kdegraphics package, or any other packages which have
dependency on 
others. However the "Package Not Found" window still pop out. Although
this is 
insignificant, this message is somewhat misleading. Could this message
change 
to "Failed Dependency" or any others? Thanks!

Since that we don't receive any response.

Changing strings at this point breaks translations and so can't really
be done.

Red Hat has deferred this bug, so I'd like to do the same here.

Mike R - should we open this for RHEL 4?

Same with this bug; try on RHEL4, should be easy to check. Close or comment.

I have tried this on RHEL4 Beta2, I installed all extra packages in 
office/productivity. Then tried to remove the group and update. I got the 
following error

Package Not Found
  The following package could not be found on your system.
  Installation cannot continue until it is installed.

  Unlocatable Package      Required By
  openoffice.org           (openoffice.org-libs', '1.1.2', '10')

openoffice.org is actually installed on the system. so I think the bug hasn't 
been fixed yet.

There should be another bug report for RHEL4.  This bug report should
be for RHEL3 family only.  If there is no  bug report for RHEL4, please
open one.  Thanks.

Please.  My understanding is that config-packages will be different in rhel5....
