Description Zamir SUN 2016-12-04 02:07:41 UTC 
The same bug happened in updating from Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 again!

Setps to reproduce:

1. Install Fedora 24
2. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever 25

Actual result : 
package seamonkey-2.40-9.fc25.x86_64 requires system-bookmarks, but none of the providers can be installed
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)

Expected result:
Update without problems


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1361851 +++

Description of problem:
When upgrading Fedora 23(with seamonkey installed) to Fedora 24, or install seamonkey in Fedora 24, dnf complains "package seamonkey requires system-bookmarks, but none of the providers can be installed".

This makes some of the users stop upgrading to Fedora 24 and just use Fedora 23.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 24


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a Fedora 23
2. #dnf update -y
3. #dnf install seamonkey -y
4. #dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=24

Actual results:
It will error, saying seamonkey require system-bookmarks and onoe of the providers can be installed. So the only way to upgrade is using --allowerasing which removes seamonkey

Steps to Reproduce 2:
1. Install a pure Fedora 24
2. #dnf update -y
3. #dnf install seamonkey -y
4. #dnf search system-bookmarks


Actual results 2:
Step 3: Error: package seamonkey-2.40-5.fc24.x86_64 requires system-bookmarks, but none of the providers can be installed
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)
Step 4: Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:21 ago on Sun Jul 31 16:22:30 2016.
Error: No matches found.


Expected results:
For scenario 1, system MUST can be upgraded into Fedora 24 with Seamonkey installed.
For scenario 2, seamonkey should be able to installed on Fedora 24 (either provide system-bookmarks or fix the rpm spec of seamonkey)

It seems that seamonkey.spec should not contain:
Requires:       system-bookmarks
It is only required during build time, the Firefox is the same case. So
BuildRequires:  system-bookmarks
should be sufficient.

--- Additional comment from Dmitry Butskoy on 2016-08-02 01:13:59 HKT ---

Even not during build time, since Seeamonkey uses "ln -f -s" instead of Firefox's "cp -p".

I'm going to drop system-bookmarks requirements at all...

Comment 1 Dmitry Butskoy 2016-12-05 16:47:09 UTC 
Looks strange a bit...

All the releases have the package "fedora-bookmarks" (ie., fedora-bookmarks-25-1.fc25.noarch.rpm), and all such packages provide "system-bookmarks".

Maybe something goes wrong with yum/dnf upgrade process? IOW at the upgrade time "fedora-bookmarks" package are seen, but the fact that it provides also "system-bookmarks" is ignored for some reason...
Comment 2 Zamir SUN 2016-12-06 01:59:47 UTC 
Well, sorry for this, but it is strange to me now as well.

I upgraded my working machine (newly installed by the very beginning of Fedora 24 release) and during upgrade this did not happen.

However, the two machines at home, both upgraded from Fedora 23 (or even earlier) to Fedora 24 and now Fedora 25, have this issue (both meet the bug 1361851 before). 

I'm now lower the priority and severity as it seems still not clear for both of us.
Comment 3 Zamir SUN 2016-12-15 12:15:36 UTC 
After struggling for several days, I finally figured out the cause.

There is happened to be astronomy-bookmarks-1-16.fc25.noarch which also provided fedora-bookmarks, and marks fedora-bookmarks package as conflick

Error: package astronomy-bookmarks-1-16.fc25.noarch conflicts with fedora-bookmarks provided by fedora-bookmarks-25-1.fc25.noarch so fedora-bookmarks is not installed!

However I never know why the package astronomy-bookmarks is there in my system!

Shall we change the bug to astronomy-bookmarks instead?
Comment 4 Dmitry Butskoy 2016-12-15 17:22:52 UTC 
It was some similar conflicts before, when astronomy-bookmarks provided system-bookmarks.

Since the name is beginning with "a", it took precedence over "f" (fedora-bookmarks). IOW when something required "system-bookmarks", the "astronomy-bookmarks" was installed instead. Probably it is a reason why you have this package installed.

More recent astronomy-bookmarks packages drop system-bookmarks providing. So you have package which no more provides system-bookmarks, but prevents installing of a package (fedora-bookmarks) which still provide it.

The solution seems to remove astronomy-bookmarks before update/upgrade anyway.
