Description of problem: The priorities plugin does not consider the version field in determining whether a package would obsolete a higher-priority package. This can lead to unnecessary exclusion of desirable packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-plugin-priorities-1.1.31-2.fc15.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install yum-plugin-priorities and enable check_obsoletes. 2. Place gnome-applets-3.1.5-1.fc16 in a high-priority local repository (see bug 725254). 3. yum list gnome-panel Actual results: gnome-panel-3.0.0.1-4.fc15 gets excluded because it obsoletes gnome-applets <= 1:2.32.0-5 and the local repository contains a package named gnome-applets. Expected results: gnome-panel-3.0.0.1-4.fc15 is not excluded because the version condition of its obsolete tag does not match gnome-applets-3.1.5-1.fc16.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
