Package perl-Frontier-RPC-Client 0.07-7 conflicts with perl-Frontier-RPC
Last modified: 2008-04-02 16:59:15 EDT
Description of problem: I've built myself ISO today. It contains # ls -la RPMS/perl-Frontier-RPC-* -r--r--r-- 1 root root 33070 Nov 29 12:48 RPMS/perl-Frontier-RPC-0.07-7.noarch.rpm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 18621 Nov 29 12:47 RPMS/perl-Frontier-RPC-Client-0.07-7.noarch.rpm When installing the Satellite, the Installing RHN packages. step fails with the following error in the log: Package perl-Frontier-RPC-Client 0.07-7 conflicts with perl-Frontier-RPC Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 5.1.0 as of November 29, 2007. How reproducible: Tried once. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get new ISO. 2. Try to install it (or upgrade using it). Actual results: Installation fails, with error message Package perl-Frontier-RPC-Client 0.07-7 conflicts with perl-Frontier-RPC in the log. Expected results: No error message. Additional info:
It looks like either these two should not conflict, or only one of them should be present on the ISO. Assigned to Mirek as he knows what magic he did with that perl-Frontier-RPC thing.
There should be only perl-Frontier-RPC-0.07-7.noarch.rpm. The client should not be there.
OK, I removed -Client package. /cvs/rhn/rhn/satellite/MANIFEST-4AS,v <-- MANIFEST-4AS new revision: 1.74; previous revision: 1.73
From release team: A general feeling was to try and see if we could get this into the RHEL release, either Extras channel or main distro along with the other perl modules. Basic argument, nearly all our tools expose and use XML-RPC for API, bugzilla, RHN, Issue Tracker, and more no doubt, yet, with perl, we do not ship/provide a way to communicate with them within OS. We get multiple requests from customers/users of RHN Hosted and Satellite XML-RPC API to justify looking to supply beyond just Satellite channels. A minor negative about maybe adding to the RHN Tools channel, is that all content currently in Tools is RHN/Satellite owned/coded stuff, no 3rd party code packages within the channel. So, going to poke RHEL PM, and see what we get back.
Comment #4 has been meant for another bug. Please ignore. Moving ON_QA.
Verified. Satellite currently installs just fine.
API call Enhancements for 5.1 Sat GA so Closed for Current Release.
