From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041115 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: When trying to install abiword-2.0.12-9 from the FC3 updates, "rpm" notifies about failed dependencies which is pretty normal: error: Failed dependencies: aiksaurus-gtk >= 1.2.1 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 libAiksaurus-1.2.so.0 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 libAiksaurusGTK-1.2.so.0 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 libgda-2.so.1 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 libgnomedb >= 1.0.4 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 libgnomedb-2.so.3 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 libots-1.so.0 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 libwpd-1.so.7 is needed by abiword-2.0.12-9.i386 Suggested resolutions: aiksaurus-1.2.1-2.i386.rpm aiksaurus-gtk-1.2.1-2.i386.rpm libgda-1.0.4-3.rhel4.i386.rpm libgnomedb-1.0.4-3.i386.rpm libwpd-0.7.2-1.i386.rpm ots-0.4.2-2.i386.rpm The surprising thing is that libgda-1.0.4-3.rhel4 simply does not exist among the available RHEL4 packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmdb-redhat-4-0.20050107 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install abiword-2.0.12-9. 2. Check error message issued by "rpm". Actual Results: "rpm" tells which packages need to be installed to resolve failed dependencies including the not existing "libgda-1.0.4-3.rhel4" package. Expected Results: "rpmdb-redhat" should suggest existing packages only. The "libgda-1.0.4-3" does exist (without the "rhel4" suffix though) as part of FC3. Additional info: A couple of missing RPMs seem to have been dropped for the final RHEL4 release. As of RHEL4B2 (Nahant), e.g. libgda-1.0.4-3 and libgnomedb-1.0.4 were still part of the "distro".
I suspect they were dropped because nothing in RHEL4 depended on them. Will have to check into why rpmdb-redhat thinks that the package is included in the distribution.
