Description of problem: A Fedora 14 installation was upgraded to Fedora 15. One of packages in the original was gthumb-2.12.3-1.fc14. Running a post-upgrade update for "leftover" packages ended up with: gthumb-2.12.3-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm | 3.9 MB 00:02 Running rpm_check_debug ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: libclutter-gtk-0.10.so.0()(64bit) is needed by gthumb-2.12.3-2.fc15.x86_64 If there is more packages in such transaction then cascading errors are killing the whole thing; even if '--skip-broken' is used. To make things more interesting yum provides 'libclutter-gtk-0.10.so.0()(64bit)' if is finding correctly clutter-gtk010-0.10.8-4.fc15.x86_64 package and installing it before such attempt as above allows to proceed. Also 'yum remove gthumb; yum install gthumb' does that correctly. Only an update like the one above fails. What gives? A check of a failed transaction with 'yum -d5 ...' prints this: Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package gthumb.x86_64 0:2.12.3-1.fc14 will be updated Checking deps for gthumb.x86_64 0:2.12.3-1.fc14 - ud ---> Package gthumb.x86_64 0:2.12.3-2.fc15 will be an update Checking deps for gthumb.x86_64 0:2.12.3-2.fc15 - u looking for ('libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit)', None, (None, None, None)) as a requirement of gthumb.x86_64 0:2.12.3-2.fc15 - u --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependency Process ending Depsolve time: 1.943 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.29-9.fc15 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On Fedora 15 installation run 'yum remove clutter-gtk010'. Through dependencies this will remove also gthumb if it was present. 2. Retrieve gthumb-2.12.3-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm package and 'rpm -ivh --nodeps ...' with this package. 3. Try 'yum update gthumb' and see it fail. Additional info: This is "not that big" installation so I cannot be sure that 'gthumb' is the only package affected in this way. It was in this limited set I was experimention with. I do not know at this moment if this is, or is not, x86_64 specific. Should this will be reported also on http://yum.baseurl.org/report, as suggested in the error message, or here is good enough?

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
