From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.9 sun4u) Description of problem: I can update named packages from the command line using up2date, but if I try to list the packages that still need to be upgraded, I get the error "Not Found", after fetching the Obseletes list looks to have finished. My guess if that there is a file missing on the server (maybe associated to the nmap package, but that is a guess at the moment), though a more helpful error message would have been nice. This is with up2date*-2.9.27-7.x.9 and rhnlib-0.8-11. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. up2date -l
I have now upgraded all packages marked as requiring update on the rhn site, and I still get the same error. (so my guess about nmap was wrong).
The Not Found problem has gone away (presumably a server change), I am now getting the following output ... Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... ######################################## RPM package conflict error. The message was: Test install failed because of package conflicts: file /usr/bin/magicfilter-t from install of printconf-0.4.5-1 conflicts with file from package redhat-config-printer-0.4.14-1 Clearly this is because redhat-config-printer replaces printconf, but I don't have printconf installed, so I don't understand why up2date -l is checking this in the first place.
Actually, I do understand it. I had rhs-printfilters installed, (because HP web jetadmin reinstalled it), which is obsoleted by printconf according to redhat-beta-limbo-i386-obsoletes.20020718002946 Of course it should now be obsoleted by redhat-config-printer, so your obsoletes list needs updating.
The obsoletes file has been corrected, so I am closing this bug.
