Anaconda and system-setup-packages dont honor dependencies
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:45 EST
Description of problem: Hi, ive installed fc2 choosing the workstation profile (iso images from http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/index.php? p=/pub/linux/fedora-core/2/i386/iso/ via ftp) and custumizing package selection at the end of anacondas package setup. i added mozilla as a single package. after installation seemed to have run normally - mozilla didnt start up. i checked with strace and found that it was missing components afai remember it was the jscript debugger package. then i made a clean reinstall of fc2 (no upgrade) and just choose the workstation setup - using no extra settings this worked and mozilla was automatically installed with the required packages. i then checked gnome development, x development and kernel development in system-setup-packages(?) - meaning the gui thingie afterwards i tried to compile a simple x application this failed as glibc-kernelheaders where missing after that i installed apt-get from fedora.us calling apt-get upgrade resulted in a massive list of missing dependencies. there where devel packages installed that required the main package to be installed - to name one glade-devel i have never seen anything like this with a rh distribution even up2date didnt notice that there was a kernel-sourcecode-2.6.6 available that obsoletes kernel-source-2.6.5 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. reinstall fc2 2. choose workstation setup 3. customize package selection Actual results: dependencies are not met Expected results: needed packages should be installed Additional info: my setup is as follows amd athlon xp 1500+ elitegroup k7s5a(sis735) ibm deskstar 307030 ide hdd asus 875 (sym53c875) yamaha cdrw 6416 scsi plextor ultraplex 32 scsi elsa geforce2mx
I haven't seen this here. Are you sure that mozilla isn't missing the actual dependency if it requires it? Please provide your /root/install.log of where you had problems.
Yes im sure - as apt-get and rpm itself complains about missing libraries when installing mozilla on the console whats makes it a bit more difficult to use s...configpackages is that after doing up2date and updating several packages, system-config-packages forgets about the installation of the kernel-development and other package preselctions are the versions hardwired in it? as for the install.log - i can only provide one of the last one where i got the problem with gcc and glibc though rpm -q --whatrequires glibc-devel shows gcc-3.3.3-7 it isnt installed with system-config-packages if gcc is selected for install can we investigate this further in that direction as i am not very keen on reinstalling and its seems that the symptoms are the same. i will surely try to get that done on some weekend by using a free partition if it is a must. one thing i forgot - i use german throughout the installation
