Summary: perl-XML-DOM obsoltes conflicts with packages requiring
                    perl-libxml-enno
           Product: Fedora EPEL
           Version: el4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: perl-XML-DOM
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
         QAContact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]

Description of problem:

the perl-XML-DOM package spec file specifies that this package obsolotes
perl-libxml-enno ... however, the package perl-libxml-enno is required by
foomatic. So, yum updates fail when this conflict arises.

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

How reproducible:

so far, 100% of time on many machines

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up yum to point to the rhel4 epel repository
2. Install foomatic and perl-libxml-enno
3. Attempt a 'yum update' with or without the --obsoletes flag

Actual results:

failed dependencies in that perl-libxml-enno is required by foomatic.

Expected results:

yum updates packages appropriately/

Looks like someone forgot to run rpmlint.  :(

$ rpmlint -i RPMS/noarch/perl-XML-DOM-1.44-2.noarch.rpm 
E: perl-XML-DOM obsolete-not-provided perl-libxml-enno
The obsoleted package must also be provided to allow clean upgrade paths
and not to break dependencies.

Here's how to fix:

Ah, but perl-libxml-enno is in RHEL4/CentOS4 base repos.

So, why is this package replacing/obsoleting a package thats in the base repos?
The current EPEL guidelines have: "Thus packages from EPEL should never replace
packages from the target base distribution".

Yes, perl-XML-DOM was mistakenly built for EL-4.  I'm attempting to get it
removed from the repository.

Whoops; I forgot to check for that before I posted comment #1.

As an aside, I can understand why the "packages from EPEL should never replace
packages from the target base distribution" rule is necessary, but it is going
to vastly reduce the usefulness of EPEL.  :(

Hi, guys. Still broken as of this time (having to use the painful workaround of
telling everyone to add this package to their excludes list).

Sorry for the delay here. ;( 
I will try and dig through the scripts tonight and get it removed from the
repository and pushed out.

I think I know how to clean this up now, but I am not 100% sure, so I am going
to get confirmation before I possibly mess up the repository.

Hopefully it will be gone in the next day or so... sorry again for the delay.

Ugh. Sorry this took so very long to get done.

I think it should now finally be removed from the repos.

It might take a bit to mirror out, but could you confirm that it's not showing
up and close this bug?

Confirmed that it is gone in my local mirror after the latest sync.  I don't
think this is an issue, but the following are still present in the repository:
