Description Michal Jaegermann 2018-05-15 01:39:39 UTC
Description of problem:

The current rawhide update for texlive installation reports these:

Skipping packages with broken dependencies:
 texlive-collection-binextra        noarch    7:svn45125-4.fc29       rawhide     38 k
 texlive-collection-pictures        noarch    7:svn45569-4.fc29       rawhide     39 k
 texlive-collection-plaingeneric    noarch    7:svn44986-4.fc29       rawhide     38 k
 texlive-collection-pstricks        noarch    7:svn45079-4.fc29       rawhide     38 k

Running with 'dnf --best' complains like this:

Error:

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2018-05-15 18:13:43 UTC
These should be fixed with texlive-2017-9.fc29. Please reopen if not (or if you see others).

Does not seem to work entirely.  For the current rawhide, and with other updates installed, after 'dnf update --best texlive*' I see:

Error: 
 Problem: package texlive-collection-pstricks-7:svn45079-9.fc29.noarch requires texlive-collection-plaingeneric, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package texlive-collection-pstricks-6:svn40724-43.20160520.fc29.noarch
  - nothing provides texlive-hlist needed by texlive-collection-plaingeneric-7:svn44986-9.fc29.noarch

with texlive-hlist apparently MIA.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2018-05-22 01:40:02 UTC
Yeah, hlist was not the only one missing. modulus, olsak-misc, randomlist, simplekv, trigonometry, and xii-lat were missing. Added them in -10, which is building now.

Oh, well.  I have only a subset of texlive installed.  I tried to make it "reasonable" in some sense but installing everything available would be "somewhat impractical" in my case.  Mostly due to limits in my connection to the net.  Sorry!

Something apparently went askew.  This time I was greeted with:

 Problem: package texlive-collection-pstricks-7:svn45079-10.fc29.noarch requires texlive-collection-plaingeneric, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package texlive-collection-pstricks-6:svn40724-43.20160520.fc29.noarch
  - nothing provides texlive-xii needed by texlive-collection-plaingeneric-7:svn44986-10.fc29.noarch

Things are obstinate.

Comment 6 Tom "spot" Callaway 2018-05-25 18:28:32 UTC
Things are improving! That's an easy fix, -12 is building now.

In a sense.  With the current updates texlive-collection-plaingeneric and texlive-collection-pstricks were accepted but, for a change, the following showed up:

 Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package texlive-collection-mathextra-6:svn40076-43.20160520.fc29.noarch
  - nothing provides texlive-algobox needed by texlive-collection-mathscience-7:2017-14.fc29.noarch

Comment 8 Jan Kurik 2018-08-14 11:06:47 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2019-10-31 20:44:58 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '29'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2019-11-27 19:22:12 UTC
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
