Description of problem: When installing tcl-devel 8.4 via yum, quite every single package is updated/ erased. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 8 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 How reproducible: try install tcl-devel tcl-devel-8.4.15-5.fc8 via graphical yum interface (be careful it will make your system unusable) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run graphical yum as root 2. search for tcl-devel tcl-devel-8.4.15-5.fc8 3. try to install it and see Actual results: System icons disappear, most apps are erased, cannot reboot to X server. Expected results: Just needed tcl-devel to compile 8Kingdoms game. Additional info:
After reboot got message id 'X' respawning too fast... btw. programs like firefox are erased
Sorry i'm not trying to flood, but here's some info that might be important about the Fedora installation i had that made up that bug: - Fedora 8 with gnome, without any KDE or server package, developpment packages were installed, still wonder why tcl-devel package was missing actually. I guess if i've had installed whole Fedora DVD the tcl-devel package would already have been there and thus not erased half of my system (sorry can't give better explanation, being noob :) But i still wonder what would happen if someone updates his tcl & tcl-devel packages on F8.
which graphical yum interface did you use? Can you check your /var/log/yum.log and look for the date stamp of this? I'm curious what was in the transaction.

okay well, I can't recreate this and that makes this a bit impossible to debug.

Could you please tell me if you will handle that?
the yum log file won't really help but sure, attach it.
