This report seems to be incomplete and may be missing an
entire class
of dependency problems.
For example, I cannot update the latest xosd package because
bmp-xosd
has not been compiled against the new xosd release, yet this
is not
showing up in the report.

This is my fault... bmp is orphaned and not shipped anymore
in fc6 or
devel. So, xosd wouldn't build anymore because it couldn't
find bmp.
I removed the bmp-xosd subpackage and pushed a new build.
I suppose I should add in a Obsoletes for it, but not sure
where that
should be. I suppose in the main xosd package. ;(

package: bmp-xosd - 2.2.14-8.fc6.i386 from
fedora-extras-6-i386
unresolved deps:
xosd = 0:2.2.14-8.fc6
However, once the package is gone from the repository, it
won't show up in
the reports anymore. This is less than ideal, but we've had
to delete
broken and obsolete sub-packages from the repository more
often than they
violated an upgrade path.
The missing obsoletes is a fundamental problem, not specific
to Extras.
There is no automatic garbage collection during upgrades.
Usually the
release notes only say "remove package foo" or
something like that. One
could make "xosd" obsolete "bmp-xosd <=
some-version", but would that be
correct when xosd does not provide the functionality of
bmp-xosd?
Considering that audacious obsoletes bmp, maybe there is a
substitute
of bmp-xosd for the audacious-plugins package?

Yeah, I am not sure what to do here... There is a audacious
xosd
plugin, but it's not part of xosd, it's a totally seperate
upstream
source from the audacious folks, so I would think it would
be better to
be it's own package...
So, I could:
- Do nothing. This means people who have bmp-xosd installed
will see a
broken dep and have to manually 'rpm -e bmp-xosd' to get
back on track.
Not nice to make end users have to do that. ;(
- Add a 'obsoletes' to the main xosd package. This would
help end
users, but this package doesn't really provide bmp-xosd
anymore, so
should it have to obsolete it? I guess this is cleaner..
Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to fix this?

And what happens if the package is brought out of
orphanship? People have
unnecessarily removed the software, and we'll have to
continually
update/rebuild this psuedo package over and over again.

Should not be needed when you use versioned Obsoletes:

And what if such a package gets picked up by another repo?

So we actually endorse replacements in 3rd party repos, OK,
fine with me.
And what happens on the next update of garbage-collector in
Fedora
which will nuke that package again?

yet another reason why I think this is a bad approach.
yum list extras should show you the packages you have
installed that aren't
available in any repo you have configured. From that point,
it would be easy
to construct a removal to cleanse yourself of the orphans,
should the user
choose so.
