obsolete packages forcing yumex-dnf to close!

[fduraibi]

Two ownCloud packages always show up in the main list with the updates, their color is blue which is for obsolete packages, however, they are not, see picture.

I tried to clear the cache, refresh, reinstall, but I couldn't get rid of them.

• I use the 64bit version, but the first item is the i686 which is not installed!
• The 64bit which is installed is the latest (see the rpm output)

They have been showing their for a very long time, even when I get updates for owncloud client.

Here is what happens when I try to "update" them (it happens every time):

• Trying to update the i686 package will fail with this message:

After this failure if I go back to the "Packages" page I get this error message and the application will close:

Here is the debug output:

• Updating the 64bit fails in a similar way but with a different error message and will also force a close of the application:

These packages are broken

look like the spec contains obsoletes: owncloud-client

This mean that the package obsoletes itself

obsoletes without version and args is a very bad thing.

This is how it should be done. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages

There is not much i can do in yumex to handle packages there is broken in this way

You should properly use Fedora's own packages https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OwnCloud

They even warns against the packages from Open Build Services
