From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021014 Phoenix/0.3 Description of problem: In the case of mutt, I have Konqueror installed as part of kde-base, as well as htmlview. One of the three RPMs needs dependency information adjusted to reflect that both htmlview and Konqueror provide webclient. More importantly, redhat-config-packages contains a bug evidenced by its attempt to remove openoffice. For every indirect dependency on mozilla (e.g. libmprldap50.so), openoffice-libs is also listed as providing the particular library. Openoffice-libs is installed. The package manager is not recognizing the installed, alternative provider. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Confirm mozilla, mozilla-mail, mutt, and openoffice pacakges installed 2. Deselect all three mozilla packages in Graphical Internet group 3. Click on update in package manager Actual Results: After dependencies are computed, the removal confirmation dialog lists five packages, including mutt and openoffice. Expected Results: Only the three deselected Mozilla packages are removed as there is no critical dependency by mutt or openoffice on mozilla. In the case of openoffice, there is already an installed, alternative provider for the dependencies that reference mozilla. Additional info: Ran rpm --rebuilddb and verified same behaviour. This results in loss of data (the whole openoffice package) if the user is not careful. Non-technical users will not understand what is transpiring.
Test packages at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/redhat-config-packages/ should fix this *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75661 ***
