From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: When installing gnome-python2-bonobo-2.6.0-3, the following failed dependancy occurs: pyorbit >= 2.0.l is needed by gnome-python2-bonobo-2.6.0-3 Note that the current version of pyorbit is 2.0.1. However, gnome-python2-bonobo is looking for 2.0.l (that's an ell, not a one), so the dependancy fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -U pyorbit-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm gnome-python2-bonobo-2.6.0-3.i386.rpm 2. 3. Actual Results: error: Failed dependencies: pyorbit >= 2.0.l is needed by gnome-python2-bonobo-2.6.0-3 Expected Results: Successful package upgrade/install Additional info: It can of course be worked around by adding --nodeps to the rpm command line.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Amazingly, the typo still exists in the specfile. However, it just works in FC5 and FC6 still pyorbit now has a version number of 2.14.1, which is greater than 2.0.l, where 'l' is the letter ell. I'm of several minds as to whether to close this bug or not, and if so, how.
