Description of problem: yum update as of now: [...] --> Processing Conflict: kudzu conflicts kernel < 2.6.13 --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. --> Running transaction check Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies Error: Package kudzu needs kernel < 2.6.13, this is not available. I think that kudzu isn't needed or wanted anymore (at least for the time being), so it(s existing versions) should be obsoleted by the kernel so yum/up2date can do the right thing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.13-1.1558_FC5 How reproducible: Easy. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum --obsoletes update Actual results: See above. Expected results: No error message about kudzu conflicting with the new kernel, kudzu gets kicked out. Additional info:
this error only gets thrown if you have any < 2.6.13 kernels installed. this may prove problematic for upgrades. Bill ?
The error message is wrong. kudzu *conflicts* with kernels < 2.6.13.
In that case, the yum error message should be fixed (to reflect what it correctly reported a few lines above) and yum should maybe offer to remove the offending kernel packages? IIRC anaconda does the right thing, namely forget the installed kernel packages and only keep the one that came along on the installation media. Anyway, this should only happen when doing a "yum update" from FC4 to Rawhide or FC5 (or within Rawhide), so it's not a big deal.
The error message is definitely wrong :-)
