From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020829 Description of problem: On an upgrade, the installer should not touch any RPMs that it doesn't recognize or that are later than the ones on the CD. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH8.0 from the CD-ROMS. 2.Install some 3rd party RPMs and/or upgrade some RPMs 3.Realizing that I needed some additional RPMs from the CDs, I placed install CD#1of3 into the drive. Actual Results: The system automatically brought up a dialog box that led me through the list of packages to install. After making my selection, a summary screen was displayed showing the list of new RPMs to add and the RPMs that it intended to delete. Amongst those RPMs were the ones that I added Expected Results: The 3rd party RPMs should not be deleted. Additional info:
The reason the installer said that it needed to remove those RPMs is that they probably conflict with the RPMs that are necessary to be installed so that Red Hat packages work properly. Which RPMs did you install that Anaconda wished to remove before proceeding?
There were four packages indicated for deletion. Of these, one was an upgrade to expect and we wrote the other 3. Two of the three that we wrote had *no* interaction with any other file on the system and I am not certain of the remaining RPM.
Could you provide the output of rpm -q, rpm -qR, and rpm -q --provides for each of these packages?
Created attachment 90713 [details] Output of rpm -q queries for the four rpms.
Ermm... in this format, I can't tell what lines go with which commands :) Could you split it up and make it obvious which goes with which?
