Description Dave Malcolm 2011-10-11 16:21:10 UTC
Description of problem:
I ran into a yum error (which I'm about to report separately)


quoting part of yum's output:
---------- begin quote --------------
Running Transaction Check
ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:
libgdbm.so.3()(64bit) is needed by avahi-ui-gtk3-0.6.30-4.fc17.x86_64
Please report this error in http://yum.baseurl.org/report
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Your transaction was saved, rerun it with: yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx-2011-10-11-12-063urVb3.yumtx
---------- end quote --------------

I registered an account at yum.baseurl.org

However it does not appear to allow me to report bugs there (the URL is for "Available Reports" relating to bug tickets within a Trac instance). 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ yum --version
3.4.3
  Installed: rpm-4.9.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 at 2011-08-16 18:33

  Committed: James Antill <james at fedoraproject.org> at 2011-07-15

Expected results:
Either upstream URL should allow a registered user to file tickets

The FAQ on that site gives no indication on how to file tickets (I am "logged in as dmalcolm").  I suspect this is a permissions issue, but, if so, the upstream FAQ should mention this.

I'm filing it downstream (here) since the downstream package is outputting instructions to follow that link, and to do something that doesn't appear to be possible.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 17:37:07 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
