You are saying that you got a notification bubble with the error message about conflicts ?
Hello, What I'm saying is: if rsyslog conflicts with syslog-ng and syslog-ng conflicts with rsyslog we may be facing a dead-lock. That message has been showed me by RH Package Updater as I mentioned before. Greetings
I don't get it. You have made this report against PackageKit in Fedora 8. PackageKit is only available in Rawhide/Fedora 9 (Alpha). what version of yum are you running ? what does 'yum update' tell you ? what does 'yum list rsyslog syslog-ng' says ? if you are using yum-3.2.11, then you can use 'yum --skip-broken update' to apply other updates.

thats pup, so the bug belongs to pirut. Unfortunately, I can't move bugs with this javascript-challanged firefox.
Moving to pirut component, and reassigning to katzj fwiw, pirut is the existing package manager, and PackageKit is a new one being developed upstream that we're checking out for possible use in F9.
This is a package problem. There's really no way to in an automated fashion handle a conflicts like this. This is why conflicts are recommended against in the packaging guidelines
