Description of problem: update to kernel-doc-2.6.25 cause X application crash Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):2.6.25 How reproducible:smart and package manager both fail everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.launch update with kernel-xen-2.6-doc-2.6.25.3-1.fc9.noarch already installed 2.select kernel-doc-2.6.25 3.commit and wait for the crash Actual results: program closes no indication what happened, package not installed Expected results: report reason for failure Additional info: launching from terminal gives X allocation error after closing yumex run from a terminal manages to log the errors and echo the errors to the console works in reverse too: 1) uninstalled kernel-xen-2.6-doc-2.6.25.3-1.fc9.noarch 2) installed kernel-doc-2.6.25 3) attempted to reinstall kernel-xen-2.6-doc-2.6.25.3-1.fc9.noarch 4) blows up real good (the same) no log of errors in /var/log/ yum , messages, X11 , warnings

Okay, there's a packaging issue here with the kernel-xen-doc and kernel-doc. The issue with smart crashing should be filed with smart. Yumex appears to be behaving correctly. I'm going to reassign this to the kernel folks for comments.
first package manager is gpk-application 0.1.12 .It and Smart Package Manager 0.52 act the same way. Perhaps it's a common library call. Should I pass it to both smart and gpk-application? in fc9 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.x86_64.debug
Should we make kernel-doc and kernel-xen-doc conflicting packages???
filed smart bug 450593 gpk-application 450594
Changing package to kernel-xen. Maybe just killing the kernel-xen-doc package is a solution?
Killing kernel-xen itself should have done the trick :-)
