[Spacewalk-list] yum update dependency issues

[John McNulty]

I'd like to second a request for this patch to be backported to 0.5
please, and hopefully an easy way to patch/update an existing 0.5
installation.  We've just hit this problem too after a default build
of RHEL 5.2, followed by an attempt to upgrade to the latest 5.3
packages.   yum update on the server produced:

Error: Missing Dependency: libstdc++ = 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by package gcc-c++
Error: Missing Dependency: libstdc++ = 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by
package libstdc++-devel
Error: Missing Dependency: gcc = 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by package gcc-gfortran
Error: Missing Dependency: cpp = 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by package gcc
Error: Missing Dependency: libgfortran = 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by
package gcc-gfortran
Error: Missing Dependency: libgcc >= 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by package gcc
Error: Missing Dependency: libstdc++-devel = 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by
package gcc-c++
Error: Missing Dependency: gcc = 4.1.2-44.el5 is needed by package gcc-c++


But clearly all the packages needed are present in the channel.

# yum list libstdc++ gcc-c++ libstdc++-devel gcc-gfortran cpp
libgfortran libgcc

For now we've worked around it by NFS mounting the repo directory used
to populate the 5.3 update channel and run yum localupdate *.   This
worked fine, so the collection of rpms is sound.

Rgds,

John
