gdb depsolving problems with i386 package on ia64
Last modified: 2011-09-09 04:36:53 EDT
Description of problem: [root@z3 ~]# yum install gdb Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package gdb-6.8-27.el5.ia64 already installed and latest version Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package gdb.i386 0:6.8-27.el5 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libreadline.so.5 for package: gdb --> Finished Dependency Resolution gdb-6.8-27.el5.i386 from rhel-ia64-server-5.3.z has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.5 is needed by package gdb-6.8-27.el5.i386 (rhel-ia64-server-5.3.z) Error: Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.5 is needed by package gdb-6.8-27.el5.i386 (rhel-ia64-server-5.3.z) [root@z3 ~]# uname -a Linux z3 2.6.18-128.16.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 23 14:06:23 EDT 2010 ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): see above How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. register to z-stream for 5.3.z 2. yum install gdb 3. Actual results: only .ia64 version installs Expected results: bot ia64 and i386 versions should be able to install. Besides that, installing both of them is the default when doing "yum install gdb". Additional info:
There was no 5.3.z release of GDB. http://qafiler.bos.redhat.com/redhat/brewroot/packages/gdb/6.8/ readline.i386 is shipped with RHEL-5.3: http://qafiler.bos.redhat.com/redhat/released/RHEL-5-Server/U3/ia64/compatlayer/Server/readline-5.1-1.1.i386.rpm # hostname ia64-5s-3-m1.ss.eng.bos.redhat.com # rpm -q redhat-release redhat-release-5Server-5.3.0.3.ia64 # yum install readline.i386 No package readline.i386 available. I can confirm the problem exists but it is specific to RHN and I do not know RHN.
readline-5.1-1.1.i386.rpm is still missing from 5.3.z and 5.3.ll ia64 channels. Proposing for 5.3.ll.
