Description of problem: When attempting to perform a yum upgrade on a server, an obsoletes of beakerlib by beaker-lib fails to allow the upgrade due to a conflict with a package beakerlib-redhat Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beakerlib-1.3-3.el5 getting obsoleted by beaker-lib-0.1271345738.beaker0_4.el5 and beakerlib-redhat-1-2.el5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum upgrade -y on a machine that has beakerlib and beakerlib-redhat installed with the rhts-ops-live-noarch repo enabled Actual results: You get the following error Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================================================================================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================================================================= Installing: beaker-lib noarch 0.4.95-0.1271345738.beaker0_4.el5 rhts-ops-live-noarch 108 k replacing beakerlib.noarch 1.3-3.el5 Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================================================= Install 1 Package(s) Upgrade 0 Package(s) Total size: 108 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/lib/beakerlib/beakerlib.sh from install of beaker-lib-0.4.95-0.1271345738.beaker0_4.el5.noarch conflicts with file from package beakerlib-redhat-1-2.el5.noarch file /usr/share/rhts-library/rhtslib.sh from install of beaker-lib-0.4.95-0.1271345738.beaker0_4.el5.noarch conflicts with file from package beakerlib-redhat-1-2.el5.noarch Error Summary ------------- Expected results: Upgrade works smoothly Additional info: It looks like some files from beakerlib-redhat have been moved into beaker-lib which is fine, but trying to remove beakerlib-redhat also trys to remove beaker-redhat, which looks to have some files not in any other package, so it might break functionality
I think this was solved by removing 'beaker-lib-0.4.*' packages from all repos we know of. That package is very old and for some reason it contained wrong obsolete/provide metadata. It is a dep mess. If you know of any repo still containing 'beaker-lib' package, let me know, we should remove it from there.
