Here's a little more info. I downgraded gpm* to 1.20.6-10.fc14, then reinstalled the stuck package just to be sure. Then I did an update and got this:
Running Transaction
Updating : gpm-libs-1.20.6-11.fc14.x86_64 1/6
Updating : gpm-1.20.6-11.fc14.x86_64 2/6
Updating : gpm-devel-1.20.6-11.fc14.x86_64 3/6
Cleanup : gpm-devel-1.20.6-10.fc14.x86_64 4/6
Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package gpm
Cleanup : gpm-libs-1.20.6-10.fc14.x86_64 5/6
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.PzTbRt: line 8: syntax error: unexpected end of file
error: %preun(gpm-1.20.6-10.fc14.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
gpm-1.20.6-10.fc14.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!
Looking at yum history shows this from the original update to 1.20.6-11:
49 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hk0inP: line 8: syntax error: unexpected end of file
50 error: %preun(gpm-1.20.6-10.fc14.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
history info
So this package was never cleaned up, even after the original update. :confused:
Was that update broken for anybody else? If you want to check, the following commands will be useful:
yum list installed gpm*
yum history list gpm-1.20.6-11*
yum history info nnn
where nnn is the transaction number from the previous command
Thanks again,
