Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 177230
foomatic conflicts with hpijs-0.9.7-4.2
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:20 EST
Description of problem: hpijs-0.9.7-4.2 is in updates-release tree as of jan 5th but the available foomatic-3.0.2-19 conflicts rpm -q --conflicts foomatic ghostscript < 7.05 hpijs < 1.5 previously hpijs was at version 1.7 foomatic needs an update published to prevent the conflict with the new hpijs packages
*sigh* This update was in testing for *months*, and no-one reported any problems.

I cant explain why testing didn't catch this... i was using testing and the conflict didnt cause a problem. Once someone else reported the problem in #fedora I looked at my systems and the conflict was present but the conflict didn't prevent the updates from happening. -jef
Got the problem on all my Fedora systems
the same class of comment appears on my system. up fails with this complaint: 'Unresolvable chain of dependencies: foomatic-3.0.2-19 conflicts with hpijs < 1.5' hpijs-1.7.1-3 is currently installed
weird : I get the conflict when using up2date to update hpijs resulting in a failure to update hpijs but, when giving yum install hpijs it installs fine and does not report the dependency. Jouk
Aha, that's why *I* didn't see the problem, at least.
Please enable the updates-testing repository in your up2date configuration, and try the updated foomatic package from there: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-January/msg00301.html Does that fix the problem?
I wonder - does this have anything to do, possibly, with an epoch/non-epoch'd versioned conflict?
/usr/bin/yum update does indeed appear to solve my problem. is up2date not up to date?
Please enable the updates-testing repository in your up2date configuration, and try the updated foomatic package from there: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-January/msg00301.html Does that fix the problem? The change is to add a '0' epoch to the conflict.

I just checked. I updated to the foomatic in updates-testing via up2date. After that, I was able to update to the new hpijs using up2date just fine. I haven't actually tested the functionality of the new RPMS, but up2date seems to work now.
