Description of problem: The gda-postgres component is advertised as a Fedora Extras component, but is not listed, so I'm filing against what I believe is a related package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.0, release 5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC4 2. Run up2date (no options) and select all packages 3. ...or run yum update (no options) and let it run Actual results: Both up2date and yum think they are happy with updating gda-postgres, but when they try to run the transaction tests, they find a dependence on libpq.so.3 that they cannot resolve. Neither of them can figure out what package is supposed to satisfy this dependency. Both abort. Expected results: Additional info:
libgda has not been rebuilt after postgres jumped to .so.4 in Rawhide. [Bugzilla component "libgda" is correct, because it's common practice to use the src.rpm name for bugzilla components. The unusual thing about it, which I believe is a bug and an unfortunate choice of package names, are the sub-packages: gda-mysql, gda-odbc, gda-postgres -- these depend on their mother package "libgda" and extend it with plugins. Naming them "libgda-mysql, libgda-odbc, libgda-postgres" would have been better.]
1) Are we talking about Extras for FC4 or extras for rawhide? Michael you're talking about Rawhide, but the bug is filed against 4. 2) About changing the names, I agree, how would I do that? Provides and Conflicts with the old names? Should I do anything with version no's in the Provides and Conflicts?
For this one, rawhide = fedora core 4 development, of course (fc5 is far far away and rather unimportant at this point in time). No "Conflicts"! Package renaming should be done via: Obsoletes: oldname < %{version}-%{release} Provides: oldname = %{version}-%{release} The corresponding versioned "Provides" for the %{name} is implicit/automatic.
I've requested a rebuild for FC-4 which should result in libgda-1.2.0-5.1 For devel I've changed the names for the database providers from gda-xxx to libgda-xxx and requested a built which should result in libgda-1.2.0-6 Closing.
