wxGTK attempts at obsoleting compat-wxGTK, but doesn't obsolete the sub-packages. Rawhide update fails, Fedora 7 is affected, too: [...] ---> Package libgsf.i386 0:1.14.5-1.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package NetworkManager-gnome.i386 1:0.6.5-7.fc8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: compat-wxGTK = 2.4.2-21.fc6 for package: compat-wxGTK-gl --> Processing Dependency: compat-wxGTK = 2.4.2-21.fc6 for package: compat-wxGTK-xrc --> Processing Dependency: compat-wxGTK = 2.4.2-21.fc6 for package: compat-wxGTK-stc --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Unresolveable requirement compat-wxGTK = 2.4.2-21.fc6 for compat-wxGTK-gl Error: Unresolveable requirement compat-wxGTK = 2.4.2-21.fc6 for compat-wxGTK-xrc Error: Unresolveable requirement compat-wxGTK = 2.4.2-21.fc6 for compat-wxGTK-stc This has been in the Fedora 7 broken deps report for more two weeks (all archs): compat-wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-21.fc6.i386 requires compat-wxGTK = 0:2.4.2-21.fc6 compat-wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-21.fc6.i386 requires libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0 compat-wxGTK-gl-2.4.2-21.fc6.i386 requires compat-wxGTK = 0:2.4.2-21.fc6 compat-wxGTK-stc-2.4.2-21.fc6.i386 requires compat-wxGTK = 0:2.4.2-21.fc6 compat-wxGTK-xrc-2.4.2-21.fc6.i386 requires compat-wxGTK = 0:2.4.2-21.fc6 Suggested fix: Either obsolete all sub-packages properly, or don't obsolete compat-wxGTK* at all.
Doh. I hadn't noticed it in deps report because compat-wxGTK isn't my package. I'll fix this first thing tomorrow morning. (Moving to f7 because I think it's a bit more urgent on the released distro, but I'll fix it on both.)
Hey, can you take a quick look at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=12746 and make sure I haven't made things worse? I'm not really all that excited by having wxGTK obsolete the compat packages, but I'm also not sure how else to cleanly get rid of them, and also Spot said to do it. :)
The Obsoletes seem to be complete this time. But do realise that obsoleting compat-* packages (with a non-constant %version-%release like it is done here) blocks their re-entry, as it is impossible to reintroduce them into the same package namespace. You obsolete a much higher %version than necessary. Fortunately, wxGTK 2.6.x is called compat-wxGTK26-* > I'm also not sure how else to cleanly get rid of them "Cleanly"? Generally, it's impossible in case a user has installed packages which depend on them.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
