With the latest kde update (3.5.7-1.fc7.1) perl(DCOP) is now provided by kdebindings-dcopperl instead of kdebindings. Unfortunately on multilib systems yum decides to install kdebindings-3.5.6-1.fc7.i386 (shortest name wins?) even while at the same time it is about to upgrade the x86_64 version of kdebindings to the newer version.
Created attachment 158116 [details] yum update results
A little background wrt what Kostas is seeing: perl(DCOP) is provided by both kdebindings-3.5.6 and kdebindings-dcopperl-3.5.7 (moved to separate subpkg in update). kdesdk Requires: perl(DCOP) On existing system with kdebindings-3.5.6, kdesdk-3.5.6, trying to upgrade to kde-3.5.7 results in transaction trying to install kdebindings-3.5.6.i386 on x86_64 systems ?? (presumably to satisfy the perl(DCOP) dep using "shortest named pkg that provides it). It was suggested that adding to kdebindings-dcopperl: Obsoletes: kdebindings < 3.5.7 may help. If so, I'm ok with adding that to kdebindings packaging.
For the record this happens in a machine with no i386 packages installed also.
can you output a yum -d 6 update, please
Created attachment 158119 [details] yum -d 6 update output yum -d 6 update output from a different machine (no i386 packages installed at all on this machine)

Created attachment 158310 [details] should sort the 'best' providers by distance from requesting arch please apply this patch to depsolve.py in yum and see if the problem goes away. I think it will
No luck with the patch :(, it doesn't do anything in this case since at that point we have: best_dist: 1 po_dist: 6 best: kdebindings-dcopperl - 3.5.7-1.fc7.1.x86_64 po: kdebindings - 3.5.6-1.fc7.i386 and neither of the if cases are taken so the lowest name wins replaces kdebindings-dcopperl with the i386 version of kdebindings right after the code you added in: if len(po.name) < len(best.name): best = po
I didn't add it - I failed to add the 'elif' to it. Try this for me. on line: 592 - add 'el' to the 'if' that's there. then rerun
Great, with the elif kdebindings-dcopperl is picked up and everything works correctly :)
cool, it's committed and I'm closing this upstream
