Description of problem: up2date -u stopped working at some point, perhaps after I installed Ximian Gnome and updated several components using Ximian Red-Carpet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 rpm-4.0.3-1.03 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: up2date -u Actual Results: Retrieving list of all available packages... ######################################## Removing installed packages from list of updates... ######################################## Removing packages marked to skip from list... ######################################## Getting headers for available packages... ######################################## Removing packages with files marked to skip from list... ######################################## Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... There was a package dependency problem. The message was: A package providing libpisock.so.4 could not be found.
It would be nice to know which .rpm caused the dependency problem. I did not find any way to ask up2date to be more verbose. Something like -debug would be nice...
libpisock.so.4 was never provided by Red Hat. It comes from pilot-link (the current Red Hat release is pilot-link-0.9.5-8). It's a conflict with the packages provided by Red Carpet. I will mark this bug as an enhancement request, since a sensible error message is indeed more useful. Feel free to change it back and provide us with more information if you notice something else is not behaving.
