However
# rpm -q lxde-common
lxde-common-0.4.2-1.fc11.noarch

so for some reason yum tries to downgrade lxde-common.noarch to lxde-common.i586. Should an additional obsolete be added to the lxde-common package?

Comment 2 Susi Lehtola 2009-08-09 11:09:36 UTC 
Running the groupinstall command after removing lxde-common-0.4.2-1.fc11.noarch results in a succesful transaction with lxde-common-0.4.2-1.fc11.noarch installed again.

But running the groupinstall command again after this results in

Looks similar to bug 505996, which should be fixed.

> Should an additional obsolete be added to the lxde-common package?

The spec already has

Obsoletes:      %{name}-data <= 0.3.2.1-5
# needed because the lxde-common and lxde-common-data 
# required each other with full n-v-r on F-11
Provides:       %{name} = 0.3.2.1-4.fc11
Provides:       %{name}-data = 0.3.2.1-4.fc11
BuildArch:      noarch

Did I miss something?

But is not, I can still reproduce the problem with xfce4-xmms-plugin in F-11.
Comment 6 James Antill 2009-08-10 13:38:18 UTC 
 This is the same "problem" as 512498, see comments:

Comment 7 seth vidal 2009-09-03 16:14:55 UTC 
I think this is a bit of combo between 512498 and ever-fun <, <= issue fixed a week or so ago in yum.
