package updater error screenshot

Using the Software Update tool for installing the EL5.7 snapshot 1 xen kernel produces an Error resolving dependencies message (see attached screenshot):
 
Missing Dependency: xen-libs = 3.0.3-130.el5 is needed by package xen-3.0.3-130.el5.x86_64 (installed)

Comment 4 Miroslav Rezanina 2011-06-08 07:34:11 UTC
Can you please provide info from what you are updating from, i.e. attach rpm -qa "xen*" command output.

Also what packages are you updated to.

As I can see from screenshot, problem is that only xen-libs are updated - xen package should be too.

Comment 5 Peter Pols 2011-06-08 08:00:27 UTC
rpm output from the first system:
xen-3.0.3-131.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-264.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-262.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-262.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-264.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-131.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-131.el5

rpm output from a second system:
xen-libs-3.0.3-130.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-259.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-130.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-264.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-259.el5
xen-3.0.3-130.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-264.el5
 
The screenshot is showing only the second attempt after updating all new packages from the snapshot 1, excluding the problem causing package.

Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2011-06-08 08:16:46 UTC
Ok,
why do you not update xen package in error case? It is not possible to update xen-libs without xen.

Comment 8 Peter Pols 2011-06-08 10:27:46 UTC
I send another more detailed screenshot showing, that the Software Update tool (Package Updater) gives no choice to avoid or handle the conflict.

Comment 9 Miroslav Rezanina 2011-06-08 11:34:41 UTC
Ok, do you have enabled RHEL VT repository? xen and xen-libs are stored in different repositories.

Comment 10 Peter Pols 2011-06-08 12:15:53 UTC
Yes, i think so, i'm updating from the complete snapshot 1 installation image, created from the RHEL5.7-Server-20110525.0-x86_64-DVD.iso.

Comment 11 Miroslav Rezanina 2011-06-08 12:42:26 UTC
Oh, so it's updated from cd?? Can you check if xen package is present??

Comment 12 Peter Pols 2011-06-08 14:00:25 UTC
Ok, you're right (see comment #9). I added a VT reference (baseurl = http:// .. el5.7/VT) in the repository file and the snapshot 1 xen package was installed too.
 
Thanks for your patience. Please close this bug.
