Fixed In Version: webkitgtk-1.4.3-9.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the wrong provides were preventing successful upgrades of the operating system. As a consequence, running the "yum update" command produced an error. In addition, the error message prompted the user to use the "--skip-broken" option to work around the problem, which, however, led to a different update path. This update provides the correct backwards-compatible symbolic links for the webkitgtk packages, and "yum update" now successfully updates the system.

Description Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-15 04:10:37 UTC 
After authenticating to RHN I run : yum update on a new RHEL 6.5

Yet unlike all previous cases prior to today ( 10/14/2014) -even last week 
- I receive the following message :

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Using  --skip-broken   leads to a differnt update pass and I suspect it 
causes later problems with running chef to install IBM CMWO packages 
which did not happen before ( exactly same install !)

Please return it to work as before
Comment 2 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-15 06:43:07 UTC 
This causes a lot of damage . The different install pass and playing around
(yum clean all, yum check)  causes me to get now upon running yum update 

the message :

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: ibmos-arch. Please verify its path and try again

and I suspect I have to reinstall RHHEL 6.5
Comment 3 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-15 08:37:19 UTC 
in the original Description : 'update pass' -> 'update path'
Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2014-10-15 08:51:37 UTC 
Thanks for report, new webkitgtk from RHEL 6.6 seems to provide libwebkit-1.0.so.2 as a symlink, but not with isa_bits ... this breaks the dependencies and has to be fixed in webkitgtk package (probably via hardcoded provide).
Comment 5 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-15 08:55:53 UTC 
I am not sure I got the message  : Are you going to fix this so the 'yum update'  will work smooth with no need for us to make manual patches ?

many thanks
Comment 6 Tomas Pelka 2014-10-15 09:20:20 UTC 
Gimp was updated (to gimp*-2.6.9-7.el6) together with new webkitgtk, but the problem is that gimp-help-browser was moved from 6Server to 6Server-optional channel.

So please either make sure you have 6Server-optional enabled or remove gimp-help-browser in case you don't need it of course.

Please let me know if it help.

Thanks
Tom
Comment 7 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-15 09:30:28 UTC 
Thanks

How do I enable 6Server-optional ?   (is it some flag in /etc/yum.conf and what is the exact name)   

alternatively How to remove gimp-help-browser ?

thx

I think you can do it in RHN web ui quite easily.

rpm -e gimp-help-browser
Comment 9 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-20 18:33:12 UTC 
also we noticed that in the latest repository updates 

selinux-policy-3.7.19-260.el6.noarch   conflicts with openstack-selinux package  . That did not happen before October 14th
Comment 10 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-20 21:12:48 UTC 
on previous yum update (prior to 10/14) 

selinux-policy-3.7.19-260.el6.noarch  was not installed and therefore there was no conflict with openstack-selinux package when installed during 
openstack install
Comment 11 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-20 21:13:16 UTC 
on previous yum update (prior to 10/14) 

selinux-policy-3.7.19-260.el6.noarch  was not installed and therefore there was no conflict with openstack-selinux package when installed during

Comment 14 Tomas Popela 2014-10-24 05:15:01 UTC 
Hi,
did the process that was described by Tomas Pelka in comment #6 helped or not?
Comment 15 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-24 06:05:42 UTC 
The process in #6 helped in the sense that I dropped the requiremedent for
gimp-help-browser  but there are other chnages in the last updates 
of the repository that cause problems with RHEL 6.5 updating like added install of selinux-policy-3.7.19-260.el6.noarch  which was not before and that conflicts with intsalled openstack-selinux  package which we do later on as 
part of Openstack SW installtion !

Thank you for your reply. So this looks like it is not webkitgtk fault, but the fault of moving packages between the channels.
Comment 18 Zvi Dubitzky 2014-10-24 06:30:31 UTC 
Yes  there was some packages move arounnd  that cause up update problems (for RHEL6.5 which we still stick to) - Not sure if the selinux is the only one -
and it causes us problems while installing our Openstack SW
Comment 20 Lubos Kocman 2014-10-24 14:47:28 UTC 
Hello,

I can for sure fix some of these issues by moving packages back, but we're struggling with space on workstation. 

This will need to be discussed with program management. To solve this "returning issue" once for all.

So this issue will probably hang here until 6.7 pre-alpha.

Thanks for understanding

Lubos
Comment 21 Ludmila Ondrackova 2014-10-28 09:44:44 UTC 
Hello,

could the gimp-help-browser package be moved back the 6Server channel where it was before? It is not possible to subscribe the system to the 6Server-optional channel for a customer with just Workstation subscription, as this channel is available for RHEL server.
