Description Przemek Klosowski 2020-03-24 04:54:27 UTC
Description of problem:
I believe polymake depends on weird packages that prevent smooth upgrade. I had to use --best --allowerasing, which deleted polymake; I then tried to reinstall polymake which caused a bunch of downgrades, including seemingly unrelated packages such as git, ocaml etc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
polymake-3.5-4.fc31.x86_64 

How reproducible: tried this once


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update --best --allowerasing

Actual results: deleted polymake


Expected results: normal updates


Additional info:
As mentioned, plain yum update did not run because of requirement conflicts.

Comment 2 Przemek Klosowski 2020-03-24 05:02:36 UTC
I include a log of the yum session with the following commands:

$ sudo yum -y update                        # errors out
$ sudo yum -y update --best --allowerasing  # completes, deleting polymake
$ sudo yum -y install polymake              # this results in weird downgrades
$ sudo yum -y update --best --allowerasing  # doesn't change much, still downgraded packages
$ sudo yum erase polymake                   # sacrifice polymake to get newest git/perl/etc
$ sudo yum -y update --best --allowerasing  # this runs as expected
