Description Nikolay Paskov 2007-09-22 17:19:20 UTC

When updating to the latest gdm 2.20.0-4 the upgrade process failed due to no installable providers. The full output from zypper is

Problem: atom:gdm cannot be installed due to missing dependencies
  There are no installable providers of gdm >= 2.20.0-4 for atom:gdm-2.20.0-4.i586[http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3]
=== atom:gdm-2.20.0-4.i586[http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3] ===
    atom:gdm-2.20.0-4.i586[http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3] is needed by patch:gdm-4388-0.noarch[http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3] (gdm == 2.20.0-4)
    gdm-2.20.0-4.i586[http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3] provides gdm == 2.20.0-4, but it is uninstallable.  Try installing it on its own for more details.

 Solution 1: do not install gdm
  do not install atom:gdm-2.20.0-4.i586[http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3]
 Solution 2: Ignore this requirement just here

I presume this is just a temporary syncing glitch, but just in case.

Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2007-09-22 20:47:44 UTC

I assume the patch is built against Factory

Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2007-09-22 20:52:27 UTC

hmm, gdm-2.20.0-4 is there, so this is possibly a real bug (unless of course JP's theory is correct, but then it would be a process bug :).

JP, can you reproduce it?

Comment 4 Marcus Meissner 2007-09-22 21:21:17 UTC

I guess it is a dependend library wiuth new major version, since I did not pull in any other GNOME 2.20 package.

So, now which one is it...

JPR, is gdm-lang installed?

so should I have released gdm-lang with it?

Comment 6 Marcus Meissner 2007-09-22 21:30:49 UTC

This version update will require releasing all bundle-lang-gnome-* packages.

Oops.

Rudi, can we just retract it for now?

Comment 7 Ruediger Oertel 2007-09-22 21:52:53 UTC

gdm patch removed.
