Description of problem: When updating a box, this became a showstopper: Error: kdemultimedia-extras conflicts with kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree < 6:3.5.6-3 This is pretty interesting, because: $ rpm -q kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree-3.5.6-3.lvn6 denotes that the installed version is NOT lower than 3.5.6-3. I don't know what should be fixed here. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdemultimedia-extras-3.5.6-4.fc6
This is due to a wrong epoch in the Conflicts tag. The Conflicts lists epoch 6, whereas kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree-3.5.6-3.lvn6 actually has no epoch (which is essentially the same as epoch 0). 0:3.5.6-3.lvn6 < 6:3.5.6-3, thus the problem. Either the Conflicts needs to be fixed, or the epoch of kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree needs to be bumped to 6 to match the other packages.
Thanks Kevin, fixing asap.
Looks like Michael caught it before I got to it, thanks. * Wed Mar 7 2007 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt[AT]users.sf.net> 6:3.5.6-5 - fix the fatal "Conflicts" with kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree, which breaks upgrades - the package does not have Epoch 6
Yeah, everything is OK now. Thanks! (and you're right, no kittens were harmed :) )
