Description Martin Whitaker 2018-06-24 22:40:44 CEST

[split out from bug 23202]
I still occasionally see the major failure reported in bug 23037 comment 67. The root cause of the failure is

chosen attica-5.42.0-1.mga6.x86_64 for attica[== 5.42.0-1.mga6]
selecting attica-5.42.0-1.mga6.x86_64
installed package kde-l10n-en_GB-4.14.3-1.mga5.noarch is conflicting with attica-5.42.0-1.mga6.x86_64 (Conflicts: kde-l10n[< 15.04.0])
promoting kde-l10n-en_GB-16.12.3-2.mga6.noarch|kde-l10n-en_GB-16.12.3-2.mga6.noarch because of conflict above
chosen kde-l10n-en_GB-16.12.3-2.mga6.noarch for kde-l10n-en_GB|kde-l10n-en_GB
selecting kde-l10n-en_GB-16.12.3-2.mga6.noarch

Once the obsolete kde-l10n-en_GB-16.12.3-2.mga6.noarch has been selected, it has a cascade effect, leading to what's seen in attachment 10246 [details].

The attached patch fixes the problem. It causes no failures in the urpmi test suite (when tested on a mga6 system).
