Description of problem: I have a bit of a corner case in trying to use a service pack across systems. Package foo has dependency on foo-core. If I create a service pack for foo-1.0 and foo-core 1.0 and another user has a updated foo-core 1.1, the service pack claims that foo itself is already installed and fails. If I do remove foo-core 1.1, then it proceeds. It would be nice if foo-core 1.1 was prompted to be removed by PackageKit or even automatically removed if it is a library that is not being a dependency for other installed apps.
So the sevice pack install shouldn't check for foo-core-1.0, but just check for (and ignore?) foo-core?
Unless there is a specific version dependency from foo on foo-core-1.0, foo-core-1.1 should satisfy that requirement just fine and foo can be installed. If there is a dependency on foo-core-1-1, foo-core should of course be updated to that version before installing foo Neither of these cases seems to be handled well currently.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
