[Yum-devel] Depsolver missing dependencies broken by an update

[Terje Rosten]

| 
| The current depsolver (cvs HEAD, 3.2.0) appears to have a bug when a
| package which is not part of the transaction set gets it's
| dependencies broken by an update.
| 
| The case from current rawhide, as I understand it after a brief
| crash-course into the depsolver code:
| - installed rhpl package depends on libiw.so.28
| - there's an update to wireless tools providing libiw.so.29
| - depsolver notices there's a missing dep initially, notice the miss = 1
|   in the log below, but rhpl doesn't get reprocessed in the restarted loop
|   (because it's not part of the ts ?) -> results in a seemingly
| succesfull update that breaks installed rhpl's dependencies

Strange, this don't happen here:

$ python yummain.py  update
