Fails to install python-twyt
Last modified: 2014-01-21 18:07:45 EST
Created attachment 328135 [details] output of 'yum install python-twyt' Description of problem: rawhide-ish machine. Run 'yum install python-twyt' from the command line, get whined about font packages conflicting. Filing this as a yum bug on due to the following irc exchange: < nim-nim> ajax: skvidal asked me to add the explicit conflict to help yum detect bad upgrades < ajax> the "bad" upgrade here being me trying to install some python package. < nim-nim> ajax: yum is supposed to detect all this and upgrade transparently < nim-nim> ajax: if you've find a case where yum is confused, open a yum bug Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.20-3.fc10.noarch
See also http://fpaste.org/paste/694 So the basic update path just works, and something else must be confusing yum or pinning the old conflicting packages on ajax' system
Hilariously, I can't upgrade yum (at least not with the rawhide repos enabled) to see if this is fixed already, for much the same reason: python abi change -> inkscape -> poppler -> openoffice -> fonts -> doom. I installed yum-3.2.20-5.fc10 from koji by hand, but it produces the same failure when trying to install rawhide python packages.
dejavu-fonts-compat.noarch should have cleaned up the old dejavu-fonts package and is in the transaction set, so yum is doing something strange
If a pkg contains files which conflict with another pkg then you have to have a Conflicts: line in the spec file - this is listed in Fedora's Packaging Guidelines. It is nicer b/c it means yum can tell if there is a conflict without having ALL of the file metadata (including checksums). There appears to be a conflict that we cannot upgrade out of. Ajax: have you made any changes to your yum.conf?
Created attachment 328141 [details] /etc/yum.conf Not that I'm aware of. yum.conf from the affected machine is attached.
Well, okay, not in a way that should affect this. installonly_limit is clearly my own doing.
I'm pretty sure this is obsoletes related, not conflict. From a list obsoletes I see: dejavu-fonts-compat.noarch 2.28-1.fc11 rawhide dejavu-fonts-experimental.noarch 2.24-3.fc9 installed dejavu-fonts-compat.noarch 2.28-1.fc11 rawhide dejavu-fonts.noarch 2.24-3.fc9 installed ...my guess is that the 'yum install python-twyt' path is only processing one (or maybe zero) of the above obsoletes. We might have fixed this already in 3.2.20-8 ... but can you run the above install command with "-d 9", as that'll hopefully tell us what obsoletes that single update line is doing.
Created attachment 328150 [details] output of 'yum -d9 install python-twyt'
This should now be fixed in upstream commit: f203d754c952c4f117ed8ddbb09dda9ba237dacd This'll be in 3.2.21 which should be released "soon". Or you can just "yum update deja\*" for the time being. Or you can try "Running an upstream yum-3.2.* locally" instructions from: http://yum.baseurl.org/ ...to get around it.
Or apply the fix by hand, if you're really feeling lucky:) http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum.git;a=commitdiff;h=f203d754c952c4f117ed8ddbb09dda9ba237dacd
I'm a lucky kind of guy. That fixes it, thanks!
