Description of problem: I tried 'yum update libvirt', but yum failed and told me to report this bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.9.7-1.fc17.i686 yum-3.4.3-11.fc17.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'yum update libvirt' 2. 3. Actual results: ... Running Transaction Check ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve: /usr/bin/stap is needed by libvirt-devel-0.9.7-2.fc17.i686 Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=yum Expected results: upgrade should just work Additional info:
'yum install systemtap' resolved the problem, but that makes it seem like updating libvirt when libvirt-devel is installed should have automatically pulled in systemtap since it provides /usr/bin/stap.
Actually, 'yum install systemtap' is failing: Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package systemtap-1.6-1.fc16.i686 error: %pre(systemtap-1.6-1.fc16.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 10 So maybe the problem here is that because systemtap isn't getting properly installed, then libvirt-devel doesn't work.
If you can still reproduced the first problem ... we need more of the text, to try and see what is going wrong.
Note that the problem in comment #2 is a bug in the systemtap packaging, that shouldn't happen, and should be reported there.
Created attachment 533618 [details] output of 'yum update -y libvirt' on 32-bit rawhide machine I cloned bug 753915 for the system tap failure. Meanwhile, I'm attaching an output of the complete 'yum update -y libvirt' to this bug, as well as the temporary file it references. What else do you need?

The bug in comment 2 turned out to be a SELinux problem; rerunning with SELinux in permissive mode allows systemtap to successfully install, but that's not a long-term solution.
Yeh, the yum error is self diagnosing: ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve: /usr/bin/stap is needed by libvirt-devel-0.9.7-2.fc17.i686 ** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: libvirt-devel-0.9.7-1.fc17.i686 has missing requires of /usr/bin/stap ...at some point libvirt-devel got installed without the stap dep. ... yum basically ignores this case while rpm gets unhappy.
