Could you please post the output from 'yum update -d5 --skip-broken sssd-client'

yum update --skip-broken -d9 > d9 2>&1

-d9 seems to show some relevant information in addition to what -d5 says:

archdist compared libipa_hbac-1.6.0-2.fc16.i686 to libipa_hbac-1.6.0-2.fc16.x86_64 on ia32e
  Winner: libipa_hbac-1.6.0-2.fc16.x86_64
common sourcerpm libipa_hbac-1.6.0-2.fc16.i686 and sssd-1.6.0-2.fc16.x86_64
base package sssd is installed for libipa_hbac-1.6.0-2.fc16.i686

(As you can see I hacked my yum config to avoid getting any repo changes that could hide this issue)

Comment 4 Mads Kiilerich 2011-08-05 10:12:17 UTC
Naaah. I guess the issue is caused by

SKIPBROKEN: removing sssd-1.6.0-2.fc16.x86_64 from pkgSack & updates

which removes the x86_64 package but doesn't remove the corresponding i686 package.

Perhaps --skip-broken could blacklist a whole source rpm instead of the individual packages?

yum unittest to simulate the issue

Comment 6 Tim Lauridsen 2011-08-16 15:11:18 UTC
OK, now I have made a unit test to reproduce the issue.

The issue is that

sssd.x86_64 is upgraded to sssd+1.x86_64
sssd-client.x86_64 is upgraded to sssd-client+1.x86_64

sssd+1.x86_64 has a broken dependency and is rollback to sssd.x86_64

sssd.x86_64 require sssd-client, but it has been replaced by sssd-client+1.x86_64

so sssd-client.i686 is marked to be installed.

Skip-broken does not fail, it is the only way to not break the requirements the installed sssd.x86_64.

another yum update -d9 --skip-broken

I had another issue that seemed similar. Is it the same? Or is it (also) a bug that the gnome-panel requirements don't specify arch?

# rpm -q --requires gnome-panel-3.0.2-3.fc16.x86_64 | grep panel-libs
gnome-panel-libs = 3.0.2-3.fc16

yum-3.4.3-4.fc16.noarch
rpm-libs-4.9.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64

Comment 8 Tim Lauridsen 2011-08-18 12:46:56 UTC
same issue with gnome-panel & gnome-panel-libs, one is updated and the other one is skipped and then skipped installed package is missing some deps and pull in a whole lot of i686 packages.

gnome-panel-libs should have a arch specific require to the base package.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#RequiringBasePackage  

But this is a rather new guideline, AFAIK

I not sure how --skip-broken should handle it, it find a solution, but not the best one :)

Blacklist all arches, not the whole source rpm. That I believe would solve it for the vast majority of cases.

The current skip-broken will remove all archs for foo-2.0, if foo-2.0.x86_64 is skipped, but it will not remove foo-1.0.i686.
The problem here is that foobar-1.0.x86_64 require foo-1.0 that is provided by both foo-1.0.i686 & foo-1.0.x86_64 and foo-1.0.x86_64 is updated to foo-2.0.x86_64 in same transaction, but foobar-1.0.x86_64 can't be update to foobar-2.0.x86_64 because some other dep problem and the currently installed foobar-1.0.x86_64 is now missing the foo-1.0 dependency and drags in foo-1.0.i686 instead.
If foobar-1.0.x86_64 had required required foo-1.0.x86_64, then skip broken would have skipped the foo-2.0.x86_64 update

Comment 11 Tim Lauridsen 2011-08-25 16:39:38 UTC
Skipping all packages from the same srpm, would solve this issues, but in other cases it would skip to may good updates.

Ex.
yum-utils srpm contains the base yum-utils package and a lot of plugins sub packages.

So if you have installed yum-utils & 5 plugins and there is a update where one of the plugins has a broken dep, then the yum-utils and the 4 other plugins would be skipped to, even that they don't have any issues at all.

But ... as you said, the guidelines says that subpackages should have an arch [and nvr] specific require to the base package anyway, so that shouldn't make much difference.

Bodhi will push all subpackages at once, so I think it will be OK if yum (by default) did the same when installing.

Comment 13 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2012-04-27 15:28:08 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 14 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 02:09:20 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
