Description of Problem: Up2date cannot install stronghold over the Red Hat Network; somewhere along the line an obsoletes is missed and it reports an unresolvable chain of dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install AS, rhn_register the box and subscribe to the stronghold channel 2. Run 'up2date stronghold' Actual Results: | Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... | There was a package dependency problem. The message was: | | Unresolvable chain of dependencies: | php 4.0.6-16 requires libcurl.so.1 Expected Results: Stronghold should be installed Additional Information: The stronghold channel contains stronghold-php (which obsoletes php) and a newer version of curl which provides libcurl.so.2. up2date is picking up the new curl package from the stronghold channel but ignoring stronghold-php. There are two reasons why stronghold-php should be installed: 1) it is an upgrade of the installed php package, and 2) it is required by the stronghold metapackage. It is possible to install stronghold, but this requires the user to carefully uninstall php first (by carefully, I mean removing php and everything which uses it, without using --nodeps etc). Once stronghold is installed, they must then reinstall the things they removed if they still want them, which is a complete mess.
Please try the versions of up2date in the AS errata tree. /mnt/redhat/beehive/comps/dist/2.1AS-errata-candidate/up2date/ The errata is in it's qa steps, and I have no idea how long that will take at this point.
I tried up2date-2.8.14-7.x.2 on a clean AS install and it still didn't work: same problem. Also, up2date -p is broken: # up2date -p Updating package profile... Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 798, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 366, in main rhnPackageInfo.updatePackageProfile() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnPackageInfo.py", line 62, in updatePackageProfile getInstalledPackageList()) NameError: getInstalledPackageList
I can confirm that up2date-2.8.46.3-1.2.1AS (the version issued with the new CA cert) does install Stronghold correctly; thanks a lot for your work on this Adrian.
