Description Henri Schlereth 2000-06-24 04:22:29 UTC
During a GUI upgrade from 6.2 --> beta2 it first comes up with
(this is a non-custom upgrade). The original machine is a 6.2 server
machine.

Failed dependencies
package       requires
initscripts   modutils
Mesa          XFree86
kudzu         modutils

So I hit next and get a huge dependency list against glibc.
cpp,samba-common,at,inn,ctags,wu-ftpd,tcsh,shadow-utils,XFree86
util-linux,mod_perl,samba,pmake,pam,ucd-snmp,ncurses,rpm,db2,db3
textutils,pwdb,tar,findutils,sh-utils,samba-client,ypbind,gnupg
LPRng,postgresql-server,hdparm,db3-utils,bash,sendmail,SysVinit
XFree86-libs,python,mutt,ncurses,bind,emacs-nox,pine,m4,perl
php,apache,xinetd,pidentd,fetchmail,make,fileutils,ypserv

Additionally I have vt3 console messages that state
mkbootdisk conflicts with to-be-installed package modutils, removing from
set, * removed and so on. Most of these were removed against 
glibc/glibc-devel

I hit next again and it loops back to

failed dependencies
initscripts --> modutils
kuduzu--> modutils.

And then back to the massive failure list. And loop.

This may be related to 12276/11987 w/o the disk space problem.

Comment 2 Henri Schlereth 2000-06-24 15:59:58 UTC
The aborted install (because of the loop) does wipe out the old rpm database
but left the new db files in place, I was able to proceed with a text
install which will be documented in a different bug.

fixed in beta3
