rawhide e2fsprogs & yum

[Steve G]

Hi,

I've noticed a problem in rawhide just doing yum update regarding e2fsprogs on
x86_64. The update fails like this:

>Running Transaction Test
>Finished Transaction Test
>
>Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/man/man8/blkid.8.gz from install of
>e2fsprogs-1.38-12 conflicts with file from package e2fsprogs-1.38-1

So, I check my rpm database and see this:

>[root at dhcp83-35 ~]# ./bin/rpmdb_sanity_check
>Version mismatches were found:
>e2fsprogs-1.38-1.i386
>e2fsprogs-1.38-11.x86_64

So, x86_64 & i386 have different versions. So, I check to see what yum has to say
about this:

>[root at dhcp83-35 ~]# yum list e2fsprogs*
>Reading repository metadata in from local files
>Installed Packages
>e2fsprogs.x86_64                         1.38-11                installed
>e2fsprogs.i386                           1.38-1                 installed
>e2fsprogs-devel.x86_64                   1.38-11                installed
>e2fsprogs-libs.x86_64                    1.38-11                installed
>Available Packages
>e2fsprogs.x86_64                         1.38-12                development
>e2fsprogs-debuginfo.i386                 1.38-12                development
>e2fsprogs-debuginfo.x86_64               1.38-12                development
>e2fsprogs-devel.x86_64                   1.38-12                development
>e2fsprogs-libs.i386                      1.38-12                development
>e2fsprogs-libs.x86_64                    1.38-12                development

So...this says there are no i386 -11 or -12 packages. So, the 32 bit version must
not be needed for x86_64 anymore, lets delete it:

>[root at dhcp83-35 ~]# rpm -e e2fsprogs-1.38-1.i386
>error: Failed dependencies:

Well, I guess it is needed...is the repo broken ?  Its been like this for a week
or so.
