Description Gene Czarcinski 2004-04-03 22:12:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
selinux enforce ON (setenforce 1).

Using the packages from development on 3 April 04, I selected the
following for update:

arts-*
elfutils-*
policy
policy-sources
policycoreutils
selinux-doc

I ended up with two version of policy-sources in the rpm db.

While I still have everything, what information do you wnat me to capture.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC2T2 plus current (development) up2date and rpm-*

How reproducible:
Yes.  First time on x86_64 and then reporduced it on a ix86 system.

  
Actual results:
policy-1.9.2-9
policycoreutils-1.9.2-1
policy-sources-1.9.2-9
policy-sources-1.9.2-5


Expected results:
policy-1.9.2-9
policycoreutils-1.9.2-1
policy-sources-1.9.2-9


Additional info:
While this "did not delete old package" is clear, I have also had
occurances of a new package failing to install but up2date did not
detect this and removed the old package (leaving nothing installed). 
One of these occurances was for gdm IIRC.  What I am not sure of is if
the actual files were deleted or just the rpm DB screwed up.

I have more or less all of the updates issued since FC2T1 was released
in a local repository and could possibly recreate the situation if
needed ... but it would not be easy and I would prefer not to do that.

Comment 2 Gene Czarcinski 2004-04-07 12:08:36 UTC 
It is interesting that something in up2date detected that packages had
not been processed or processed properly because the total progress
bad was not at the complete point when the "finished" message appears.
Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2004-04-07 20:09:53 UTC 
er, no idea... afaik nothing in the code has changed to
cause anything to not delete (especially on "-U" style 
updates). Might be an rpm issue, trying to reproduce...
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2004-12-20 20:27:58 UTC 
I am closing this as I do not believe it happens with the latest policy.
