Description Walter Tuvell 2010-05-25 20:51:59 EDT 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100330 Fedora/3.5.9-2.fc12 Ant.com Toolbar 2.0 Firefox/3.5.9

I tried doing a software update (both via GUI and via yum command), and it failed.

The GUI failure yields a notification box that says Transaction Error,  with the details: "could not add package update for arts-8:1.5.10-12.fc12(i686)updates: 8:arts-1.5.10-12.fc12.i686".

The following is the output I get from a "yum update" (note that doing "yum --skip-broken update" also fails):

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Reproducible: Always

Expected Results:  
Updating should succeed.

Comment 1 James Antill 2010-05-26 00:06:39 EDT 
You can just do: --exclude mythtv\* ... until mythtv is fixed in rpmfusion.
Comment 2 Walter Tuvell 2010-05-26 07:59:10 EDT 
I'm not so sure this is solely a mythtv/rpmfusion problem.

For, I tried updating again this morning (using GUI update), and again I got a Transaction Error.  This time, the Details said: "No Transaction to process".  See attached screenshot.

While it's true that the updates being attempted are all MythTV updates, a MythTV problem shouldn't corrupt an update transaction, should  it?

Comment 4 James Antill 2010-05-26 09:30:38 EDT 
That's a PK problem, and I'm not really sure what it means.

If you run yum directly I can tell if it's a yum bug or, more likely, a packaging/repo. problem.

But the problem in the initial report, yum fails dep. resolution, is almost certainly a mythtv pacakge or rpmfusion repo. problem.
Comment 5 Walter Tuvell 2010-05-26 10:08:44 EDT 
Upon closer inspection/reporting, it looks like this may be a 3-part bug:

1. Running update from the GUI (Package Kit, GnomePK in my case) first gives the Transaction Error I most recently reported: "No transaction to process".

2. Re-running update from GUI (without shutting down the GPK session) then gives the Transaction Error I reported yesterday: "could not add package update for
arts-8:1.5.10-12.fc12(i686)updates: 8:arts-1.5.10-12.fc12.i686".

3. Running "yum update" directly gives the yum error I reported yesterday.

It seems you have resolved #3 ("if it hurts to update MythTV, don't do that" :-).  Fair enough.

But for #1 and #2, it seems somebody in PK-land might want to have a look.  Would it make sense to re-route this bug report to the PK software maintainers?

And, how about informing the mythtv/rpmfusion/repo maintainers themselves?
