Description Christian Boltz 2006-03-04 11:59:11 UTC
I got an error message on update from beta3 to beta6 saying "apparmor-utils-2.0.9 is already installed".

I'll attach a screenshot showing the full error message. 

You can find the y2logs at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=71245&action=view

rpm -q lists two apparmor-utils packages:
# rpm -q apparmor-utils
apparmor-utils-2.0-5
apparmor-utils-2.0-9

Comment 2 Klaus Kämpf 2006-03-04 12:20:59 UTC
Hmm, seems to be a packaging bug of the installed 2.0-5 package:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Shutting down
preun(apparmor-utils-2.0-5.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 7

So rpm refuses to uninstall it when upgrading to 2.0-9

(Beta->Beta upgrades are not 'officially' supported ;-) )

Christian, thanks for the report. Package upgrades have flaky, but we believe that we have the upgrade logic correct now.

Please re-open if this bug re-appears; thanks.

I didn't see any more error messages about this in later betas and the RCs :-)

Thanks for fixing this!
