Description of problem: after recent update to boost libraries dependency for boost-static version 686 on 64bit version of Fedora 19 became broken Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.53.0-6.fc19 How reproducible: [root@fedora19beta ]# yum install boost-static.i686 Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package boost-static.i686 0:1.53.0-6.fc19 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: boost-devel = 1.53.0-6.fc19 for package: boost-static-1.53.0-6.fc19.i686 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: boost-static-1.53.0-6.fc19.i686 (fedora) Requires: boost-devel = 1.53.0-6.fc19 Installed: boost-devel-1.53.0-7.fc19.i686 (@updates) boost-devel = 1.53.0-7.fc19 Available: boost-devel-1.53.0-6.fc19.i686 (fedora) boost-devel = 1.53.0-6.fc19 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest [root@fedora19beta ]# Steps to Reproduce: just try to install it or upgrade it Actual results: Error for Dependency Resolution Expected results: both 64 bit and 32 bit packages of boost-static should install automatically
I don't see this problem. I can't seem to reproduce it in mock. Could you paste output of "yum list boost\*" please?
Ah, I understand the problem now. Reproducer on x86_64 machine: # yum install boost-static boost # yum install boost-static.i686 The first installs 1.53.0-7.fc19, the second then attempts to get in boost-static-1.53.0-6.fc19, which fails. I don't really understand why static-6 is available and static-7 not. Maybe -6 is what got out of rawhide stage, and was therefore in -fedora, but was omitted from -updates? There's some rationale in bug 837901, but it appears as if static should have been made available. Anyway, currently I suspect the problem is not in boost, and am switching this over to mash, like bug 837901 was.
Also note that we got this fat warning, which is obviously related to the original problem: http://autoqa.fedoraproject.org/results/606943-autotest/virt06.qa/depcheck/results/boost-1.53.0-7.fc19.html
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
