Description of problem: Running yum update or system update from Apper on freshly installed Fedora 17 Final TC1 x86_64 results with: apper-0.7.1-3.fc17.x86_64 requires libpackagekit-qt2.so.2()(64bit) : Protected multilib versions: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.9.4.0-7.git20120403.fc17.x86_64 != 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.9.4.0-1.git20120328.fc17.x86_64 See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_updates Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install clean Fedora 17 Final TC1 2. run yum update or run system update from Apper 3. Actual results: apper-0.7.1-3.fc17.x86_64 requires libpackagekit-qt2.so.2()(64bit) : Protected multilib versions: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.9.4.0-7.git20120403.fc17.x86_64 != 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.9.4.0-1.git20120328.fc17.x86_64 Expected results: yum update completes successfully Additional info:
Odd, but I don't think NM is doing anything different here, thus -> yum.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I just hit this when trying to install from RPM files. I had RPMs copied from the yum cache of one F17 x86_64 machine and tried to install in another with: yum install *.rpm Yum complained about 'Protected multilib versions when running yum update' on some files. On examination, I found that if there are two RPM files of the same package (same arch, just different versions - the kind you might have when you update), yum finds a problem. i.e if you have RPMs for version 'x' of a package and for a later version 'y', both for the x86_64 arch, yum incorrectly complains that there's a multilib arch problem and says "package-x.x86_64 != package-b.x86_64". This is the first time I'm installing x86_64. if I remember right, this used to work fine earlier (on 32 bit). Yum would ignore the older version RPM and use the newer version. But here on x86_64, I think a multilib integrity check is interfering with this.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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.
