Description of problem: Run yum update after install of Fedora 17 with updates-testing repo enabled Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 17, run yum update Actual results: http://fpaste.org/4LwJ/ Expected results: yum should resolve dependency problem automatically Additional info: fixed by disabling update-testing repo, running yum update, yum remove cogl, yum install empathy. After turning updates-testing repo back on, yum update fails again: http://fpaste.org/bnGk/
After removing cogl I also had to reinstall gnome.
After turning updates-testing repo back on I am still experiencing issues running yum update although issues with a different package/dependency: gstreamer-plugins-bad-free http://fpaste.org/tcus
I can also reproduce this problem with 'yum update' and gstreamer-plugins-bad-free causes issues against libgstphotography & qt-mobile http://fpaste.org/FxL1/ removing gstreamer-plugins-bad-free also wants to remove most of KDE.
heres an fpaste of what yum would like to remove as 'dependencies' of gstreamer-plugins-bad-free using 'yum remove gstreamer-plugins-bad-free' http://fpaste.org/4rVw/ ~130 packages that would break the system.
Samuel, Just to clarify removing gstreamer-plugins-bad-free does not break the system, but KDE has to be reinstalled after doing thisa.
It is not necessary to remove it. Just downgrading to gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.22-5 (likewise gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.22-5) is an easier workaround. Then either pin them until the issue is resolved, or use --skip-broken. sudo yum downgrade gstreamer-plugins-bad-free gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras.
Again, the purpose of filing this bug is to avoid that.
I am aware of that. I was just pointing out an easier workaround for the issue with gstreamer-plugins-bad-free. Anyway, it is fixed now.
Thanks Walter. Updates-testing repo looks good to me now. Dan
I spoke too soon. I ran a test on i686 version. On 17 x86_64 I'm getting this now: Skipped (dependency problems): ImageMagick.x86_64 0:6.7.5.6-3.fc17 ImageMagick-c++.x86_64 0:6.7.5.6-3.fc17 Complete!

Discussed at 2012-03-09 blocker review meeting. Agreed that bug is not a blocker: dependency issues in updates-testing are pretty common place and don't affect releases unless the problems get pushed to stable, which we would catch later. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
@Adam, Then we shouldn't point to updates-testing repo out of the box, or tell people to use the updates-testing repo to fix other problems. Dan
Why? Because every so often it has dependency problems? It's a development repository. Of course this can happen. If you sign up to test a pre-release you can't expect everything to be 100% smooth all the time. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I believe this is relevant bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806661 Due to some dependency problem I am unable to install emacs.
there's really no point keeping an eternal bug open for 'dependency issues we noticed in updates-testing this week'. it's not really helping anyone. let's close this. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
