Missing dependencies after upgrading to f28

[esote]

Qubes OS version:

R4

Affected component(s):

Fedora VMs (templates and standalone VMs)

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Upgrade as recommended from f27 to f28. I used the python2-xcffib workaround.

Expected behavior:

Packages are upgraded, all dependencies which are now needed as a result of changes from f27 to f28 are installed.

For example, if man (the man-pages package if I'm not mistaken) is missing a library which it now needs because of a system update, it should install those missing packages in the update itself.

Actual behavior:

A few commands are missing their library .so files. For example:

• man complains it is missing libgdbm.so.4

  • Solution: install compat-gdbm package (alternative solution is to create a soft link from libgdbm.so.4 to libgdbm.so.5.0.0 in /usr/lib64/, but not thoroughly tested)

• evince complains it is missing libgnome-desktop-3.so.12

  • Solution: install evince package (evince was working fine before upgrade with just evince-libs and evince-djvu packages)

• valgrind complains it is missing ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

  • Solution: run debuginfo-install glibc (installs glibc-debuginfo and glibc-debuginfo-common from updates-debuginfo repo)

• gdb's run command complains:

  warning: the debug information found in "/usr/lib/debug//lib64/libc-2.27.so.debug" does not match "/lib64/libc.so.6" (CRC mismatch)

  • Solution: run dnf debuginfo-install glibc (alternatively debuginfo-install glibc) -- installs glibc-debuginfo et al. as shown with valgrind issue (or updates them as needed)

These are the issues I have had so far. I may notice more missing dependencies as I use more commands.

General notes:

I did not have any of these errors when going from f26 to f27, it has reproducibly happened when going f26->f28 and f27->f28. During the upgrade to f28, no packages are removed except out-of-date kernel packages.

I am not sure if this issue is exclusive to me (ie I messed something up somewhere), or if others are also experiencing this.

odd, evince seems fine here after same upgrade.

I've not had any more issues for a while with missing dependencies. I will close this issue until others are verified to have experienced this issue. Otherwise it appears to be an issue with my configuration, not Qubes.
