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.
Created attachment 1672902 [details] yum update log (mutiple commands, see comment 2)
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
