From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Description of problem: I have an issue/problem with up2date. Less than a week ago I upgraded my KDE from version 3.0.3 to 3.1.1 via the Redhat RPMs on kde.org. Installation went relatively smoothly, although I did have to use the �-nodeps option a few times to bypass some dependencies [from the *-devel packages]. And let me mention that I did use the update flag for rpm when necessary. Things seem to have gone well and now I am enjoying the benefits of KDE 3.1.1. This was not meant to last. :) For the first time since I updated KDE, I used up2date. In addition to some necessary samba updates, there is a list for the entire KDE 3.0.3 software suite. Even though I already have 3.1.1 installed, up2date seems to think that I need to �update� to version 3.0.3. So every time I use up2date now I have to pick my way through the entire KDE 3.0.3 catalog before I can get to whatever it is that I need. I really don't understand what the problem is since I have, in theory, successful installed KDE 3.1.1. For curiosity's sake, here is a query of my installed kde programs: [root@nubby up2date]# rpm -qa | grep kde kdeartwork-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdepim-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdeaddons-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdebase-3.1.1-0.8x.2 kdegames-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdetoys-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdeutils-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdelibs-3.1.1-0.8x.2 kdebase-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.2 kdebindings-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdegames-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdesdk-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdegraphics-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdeutils-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 lockdev-1.0.0-20 kdelibs-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.2 kdeadmin-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdeedu-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdepim-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdenetwork-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdemultimedia-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdevelop-2.1.5-0.8x.1 kdeedu-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdenetwork-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdemultimedia-devel-3.1.1-0.8x.1 switchdesk-kde-3.9.8-9 kdebindings-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdesdk-3.1.1-0.8x.1 kdegraphics-3.1.1-0.8x.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-3.0.7-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) Start with a computer with Redhat 8.0 and KDE 3.0.3 2) Download the KDE 3.1.1 RPMs from kde.org 3) Upgrade/install as necessary 4) Run up2date Actual Results: Up2date prompts me to "update" the KDE packages to version 3.0.3. Expected Results: Up2date should not ask me to "update" kde, but rather just give the usually list of out-of-date files.
Looking though the deps now... If I had to make a guess, it would be that one or more of the 3.1.1 packages has an incorrect Epoch set, and is causing the whole set to get downgraded. But thats a guess... pulling down 3.1.1 now to check the packages...
On closer inspection, it looks to be an issue with the obsoletes in the 8.0 packages. Since some of the 8.0 packages were split up (kdesdk, kdeutils, kdeutils, kdeaddonts,etc) some of them obsolete packages like kdeutils, kdedsk, kdenetwork. The up2date in 8.0 attempts to resolve obsoletes (the 3.0.3 packages the server knows about, wants to obsolete "kdenetwork", which you now have install for example, and eventually leads to the deps you see... Sending email to the building of the kde.org packages to see what we can do to fix that...
