From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: After a fresh install of Fedora Core onto this machine, with no KDE stuff (just a Workstation install iirc) updated R-C-P to a version that actually works on Fedora and then experienced the following problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-packages-1.2.7-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start R-C-P 1.2.7 2. Check the KDE Desktop Environment checkbox 3. Change your mind, uncheck (returned to original state) 4. Choose a package such as vim-x11 from an existing category 5. Click "Update" button which is now enabled (!) Actual Results: A list of "missing" dependencies is provided, with no hint to the user as to where these dependencies might be obtained, or how exactly Fedora would have managed to install the affected packages magically if they had been chosen during installation, rather than afterwards... Needless to say all the "missing" things are part of Fedora Core 1 Expected Results: The package vim-x11 gets installed, any real dependencies should be resolved automatically. Additional info: List of "missing" dependencies includes libfam.so.0 fam xinetd kdebase (and others) The full list looks suspiciously like the list of "mandatory" packages for the KDE Desktop Environment package group.
This report is filed against a product which is no longer supported. It is very likely that the problem is resolved in the current version of Fedora Core or scheduled to be resolved with the new system-config-packages scheduled to land in Fedora Core 5.
