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.
------ Additional Comments From khoa.com 2003-24-11 22:10 ------- Red Hat has deferred this bug, so I'd like to do the same here.
----- Additional Comments From pbowen.com 2004-04-13 20:00 ------- Mike R - should we open this for RHEL 4?
----- Additional Comments From pbowen.com 2004-11-09 11:41 EDT ------- Same with this bug; try on RHEL4, should be easy to check. Close or comment.
----- Additional Comments From yongwenw.com 2004-11-29 11:22 EDT ------- 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.
---- Additional Comments From khoa.com 2005-06-13 00:19 EDT ------- 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.
---- Additional Comments From yongwenw.com 2005-06-20 15:21 EDT ------- Since this bug is now in Rejected and will not fix, should I close it?
