Can you run:

rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Comment 3 Juhani Olkku 2010-04-15 04:25:28 UTC

# rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.86643: line 851: IntegrateWithGNOME: command not found
Unsatisfied dependencies for xen-3.0.3-64.el5.i386: xen-libs = 3.0.3-64.el5

# yum install xen-libs
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Setting up Install Process
Package xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Comment 4 James Antill 2010-04-15 04:40:49 UTC

I think you'll find that rpm has screwed up the provides indexes. Ie.

rpm -q xen-libs
rpm -q --whatprovides xen-libs

...the first will return something, and the second will not. If that's the case run: rpm --rebuilddb

Comment 5 Juhani Olkku 2010-04-15 04:59:04 UTC

Yesterday afternoon RHEL gui popup updates for xen-libs and it managed to install it. I ran commands what you told and here are results

# rpm -q xen-libs
xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5
# rpm -q --whatprovides xen-libs
xen-libs-3.0.3-105.el5


This did not print any output
# rpm --rebuilddb


Thanks for you support

Missing Dependency: xen-libs = 3.0.3-105.el5 is needed by package xen-3.0.3-105.el5.i386 (installed)

xen-3.0.3-105.el5.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: xen-libs = 3.0.3-105.el5 is needed by package xen-3.0.3-105.el5.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: xen-libs = 3.0.3-105.el5 is needed by package xen-3.0.3-105.el5.i386 (installed)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I hit the same issue. Running

It has been some time since this BZ was updated. Closing as NOTABUG. Feel free to open a case with Red Hat Support if this is still an issue.
