Description of problem: I installed F16 RC2, and tried to install qtparted. It won't install because the most recent qtparted RPM is from F15 and requires libparted.so.0, and F16 has libparted.so.1 pulled in by F16's parted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. install F16 release candidate 2, live version 2. yum install qtparted 3. observe yum error messages Actual results: Unfortunately don't have access to the system Expected results: Additional info:
So, as I wrote on the devel mailing list, I think we need a parted2 compatibility package. I have to say I find it outright rude that the Fedora parted maintainer didn't provide one despite the major functionality removal, and also didn't announce the incompatible API and ABI change to the devel mailing list as he's supposed to. I also have to say that I find it outright rude from parted upstream to remove library functionality which applications are relying on and (part of) which appears not to be provided by any other library or tool (FAT and HFS resizing in particular).
(kde-partitionmanager also needs parted 2, not 3. GParted supports parted 3 and has been rebuilt against it, but cannot resize FAT and HFS partitions anymore.)
in case you haven't seen, this is fixed in parted-3.1: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.parted.bugs/10790
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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
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.
