Description Jaroslav Franek 2009-03-09 09:32:08 UTC
Description of problem:
The last update via yum failed due to depsolving problem. Not a problem for an expert, but newbees could be stressed and as it aborts the update they would not get other security fixes.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
currently installed:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep NetworkManager
NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-18.svn11.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-1.svn13.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-openconnect-debuginfo-0.7.0-4.svn14.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-openvpn-debuginfo-0.7.0-18.svn11.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-vpnc-debuginfo-0.7.0-1.svn13.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-debuginfo-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64

trying to update to
NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-1.fc10.x86_64



How reproducible:
Regular update via yum.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. run yum -d 9 update
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
--> Processing Conflict: NetworkManager conflicts NetworkManager-openconnect < 1:0.7.0.99-1
NetworkManager conflicts with NetworkManager-openconnect
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Dependency Process ending
1:NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-1.fc10.x86_64 from updates has depsolving problems
  --> NetworkManager conflicts with NetworkManager-openconnect




Expected results:
Clean update.


Additional info:
This is not the first time the NetworkManager has depsolving issues. Several months ago it was NetworkManager-openvpn (I had Fedora 8 that time) that triggered the problem. Is it a sign of some deeper issues in handling NetworkManager dependencies?

And one more note to yum: I guess it is not correct that a single depsolving issue aborts the installation of other (independent) security fixes. What I would expect is some higher level intelligence: if there is a depsolving issue with a single package, report it and allow user to choose to skip this package, so the rest is updated. A plugin? or a yum core feature?

NEXTRELEASE is it mean fedora 11?

Nah, currentrelease, sorry.  -3 fixes the problem.

Comment 11 Paul W. Frields 2009-03-12 11:49:24 UTC
Sorry to spam a closed bug. With regard to the yum question, you can use the '--skip-broken' option to skip over depsolving problems.
