Description of Problem: After installing the updates that became available between Oct. 5 and Oct.12, up2date insists on alterately installing zebra and gated instead of reaching a 'fully updated' steady state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8.39-1.7.1 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run up2date, let it install zebra 2. run up2date, let it install gated 3. run up2date, let it install zebra 4. run up2date, let it install gated 5. etc., etc., etc. Actual Results: up2date will continue to install one package or the other for as long as the user has patience. Expected Results: up2date should reach a steady state where the system is 'fully updated'. Additional Information:
Something similar happens for me to (platform i386, Red Hat 7.1, so the problem is not just occurring for alpha). Up2date insists that I should upgrade mutt and zebra, although I have none of these installed. I ignored those packages and installed the rest without any problem. The Web interface at rhn.redhat.com says I'm fully updated now.
Currently working on a client side fix for this sort of obsolete loop detection. In the meantime, working on a server side fix that should fix this case.

The Web interface at rhn.redhat.com says I'm fully updated now. Is the "urlview" package installed (possibly from a 7.0->7.1 upgrade?). The mutt package in 7.1 obsoletes "urlview"
urlview 0.9.2 is indeed installed, but directly from the Red Hat 7.1 Binary CD1 (so not via upgrade from 7.0). If this is indeed obsoleted by mutt, why doesn't the Web interface show it as something to be updated?
zebra <-> gated should be fixed now.
I confirm, up2date doesn't propose to install zebra anymore.
Why does up2date suddenly think I want to replace zebra with gated? I don't! # rpm -qa |egrep 'gate|zeb' zebra-0.92a-3 # up2date -l Fetching package list for channel: redhat-linux-i386-7.3... ######################################## Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: redhat-linux-i386-7.3... ######################################## Fetching rpm headers... ######################################## Name Version Rel ---------------------------------------------------------- gated 3.6 14 kernel 2.4.18 17.7.x The following Packages are obsoleted by newer packages: Name-Version-Release obsoleted by Name-Version-Release ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- zebra-0.92a-3 gated-3.6-14
This should not happen anymore. Please confirm.
Confirmed. It went away today. Thank you!
