Description Forrest 2002-05-15 19:19:05 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20020227

Description of problem:
pkgorder does not place some packages in the correct order, thus some packages
which are in the comps file are placed on the third disc, although all packages
in the comps file (and their dependencies) should easily fit on the first two discs.

The three that I have found are under Software Development starting at line 1319:

  ? Authoring and Publishing {
    ? X Window System {
      w3c-libwww-devel
    }
  }
  ? Windows Compatibility / Interoperability {
    ? X Window System {
      i386: wine-devel
    }
  }
  ? Messaging and Web Tools {
    ? GNOME {
      libesmtp-devel
    }
  }

If I change the heading to something different, sometimes it works, and
sometimes it doesn't.  E.g., if I change

  ? Authoring and Publishing {
    ? X Window System {
      w3c-libwww-devel
    }
  }

to:

  ? SQL Database Server {
    ? X Window System {
      w3c-libwww-devel
    }
  }

it will work as expected, but if I change it to:

  ? Anonymous FTP Server {
    ? X Window System {
      w3c-libwww-devel
    }
  }

it will not work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda pkgorder redhat/i386 i386>pkgfile
2. Examine pkgfile to see w3c-libwww-devel et al. near the bottom of
   the list instead of the middle.

pkgorder in CVS is a little bit smarter (and about as smart as its likely to get
without patches)

I'm going through Bugzilla closing some bugs that have been marked as Modified
for some period of time.  I believe that most of these issues have been fixed,
so I'm resolving these bugs as Rawhide.  If the bug you are seeing still exists,
please reopen this report and mark it as Reopened.
