Description Evert Verhellen 2006-03-17 16:11:15 UTC
Package Updater says the following updates are available:

[X] Updated gnome-python2-desktop packages available
[X] Updated gnome-python2-extras packages available
[X] Updated gnome-python2 packages available

Clicking "Apply updates" will result in a dialog "Error resolving dependencies"
with the following details:

Missing Dependency: gnome-python2-extras = 2.13.3-3.2 is needed by package
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2
Missing Dependency: gnome-python2 = 2.12.3-1.2 is needed by package
gnome-python2-canvas
Missing Dependency: gnome-python2-desktop = 2.13.3-1.1 is needed by package
gnome-python2-gnomeprint

I think this is because there are currently multiple versions installed of the
"consumer" packages:

gnome-python2-canvas-2.12.3-1.2
gnome-python2-canvas-2.12.4-1
gnome-python2-gnomeprint-2.13.3-1.1
gnome-python2-gnomeprint-2.14.0-1
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.13.3-3.2
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.14.0-1

This happened during a previous Package Updater session. After the newer
packages were installed (I think) but before the older packages were completely
removed I triggered a system "crash" (that is I just powered off the VMware
virtual machine).

After that there appears to be no obvious way to get Package Updater going
again. Uninstalling the older packages works but isn't something the average
person will do I guess. Major bug?

Steps to reproduce:
 1. Install Fedora Core 5 Test 3.
 2. Start Package Updater.
 3. Power off system during update process.
 4. Restart system.
 5. Start update process again.

Version details:
pirut-0.9.10-1
pirut-1.0.1-1

It appears there were also 2 pirut packages installed so Package Updater doesn't
properly clean-up obsolete stuff. Should that be considered a separate bug?

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2006-04-12 18:07:25 UTC
There were some cases during the test release cycle at which selinux caused
updates to end up in this case.  That is basically a "shouldn't happen" case and
there's not much that we can really do in the package updater to work around it :(
