Description Bill Goodrich 2004-05-17 00:47:40 UTC

The following has be reported by IBM LTC:  
Can not upgrade RHEL3 U1 to RHEL3 U2 via RHN
Hardware Environment: z800

Software Environment: rhel3 u1 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL3 U1
2. Register with RHN 
3. Run up2date -u 

Actual Results:

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
pam  0.75-54                             requires liblaus.so.1


Expected Results:

up2date would install all packages from channel.

Additional Information:
Did a find on liblaus.so.1
Results: 
/lib64/liblaus.so.1
/lib64/liblaus.so

Comment 1 Suzanne Hillman 2004-05-17 19:23:49 UTC

I believe this relates to the fact that up2date needs to be up2date'd
- the warning about this shows up in the graphical up2date, but not
the test one (which we are now aware of). Try up2dating up2date.

Comment 2 Brock Organ 2004-05-17 21:25:37 UTC

I was able to reproduce this locally with the rhnqa test environment:

s390 - able to do U1 -> U2 upgrade without dependency errors
s390x - U1 -> U2 upgrade has above dependency error "pam  0.75-54
requires liblaus.so.1"

Comment 4 Brock Organ 2004-05-18 15:33:31 UTC

I believe a workaround for this is to update up2date first (to
up2date-4.2.16-1) ... ie:

# up2date -u up2date
<...>
# up2date -u
<...>

Comment 5 Bill Goodrich 2004-05-18 21:59:57 UTC

That didn't help. I had to manullay install both variants of the laus-
libs packages. Once I did that I was able to do my upgrade from U1 to 
U2. While this is a way around the problem it's not the solution. 
Customers need to be able to this upgrade without an manual 
circumventions.

Comment 6 Bill Goodrich 2004-06-02 18:08:35 UTC

Bob Johnson asked me to me to retest this. It is still not working. 

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
pam  0.75-54                             requires liblaus.so.1

This is the same as the original problem.

Comment 7 Bob Johnson 2004-06-09 15:28:39 UTC

Brock, can you repro this locally, Bill still seeing a problem,

Comment 8 Bill Goodrich 2004-06-09 16:03:01 UTC

Originally when I tested updating up2date didn't help. When I reran
this test last week I didn't do the update for up2date. I just ran
that and reran the up2date -u and all packages installed correctly.
