script to search broken packages (12.60 KB, application/octet-stream)

Description René Genz 2013-03-30 11:29:54 UTC
Created attachment 718236 [details]
script to search broken packages

Description of problem:
Some packages are still referenced, although they are not available anymore.
See 'Additional info' for complete list of affected packages.

Sometimes package names will be redirected to another package with 'yum install ${package}' those packages are noted with '# redirected to ${package2}'

I searched for replacement packages using 'yum list *${partial-package-name}', sometimes in vain.

In order to automate the search I wrote a script, see attachement.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 18

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install F18
2. try to install the missing packages and compare with output of 'yum group info ${group}'
3. optional: execute attached script to search for broken packages


Expected results:
fix package names or associations.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2013-04-23 18:30:05 UTC
I've made some changes based on this for F19 and F20. However, you may want to note:

1) You appear to have non-Fedora repos enabled, and are pulling some comps data from them (things like x264-gui, rtmpdump, etc. are not Fedora packages)
2) The comps file includes packages for all possible Fedora architectures, including secondary architectures. Some of the packages you mention (s390utils, xorg-x11-drv-omap, etc.) are packages that are for those secondary arches.
