The mikmod that shipped with FC6 had an explicit obsolete statement for tracker.
rpm -q --obsoletes -p mikmod-3.1.6-38.1.i386.rpm
tracker
The mikmod released as an update no longer carries the obsolete
rpm -q --changelog mikmod
* Thu Nov 09 2006 Martin Stransky <stransky(a)redhat.com> - 3.1.6-39
- removed obsoletes on tracker (#214112)
The workaround is to use:
yum --disablerepo=core install tracker
or set obsoletes=0 in the yum.conf
Technically... the bug has been fixed, the latest mikmod packages no
longer obsolete 'tracker'. But because of the way obsoletes work it
still causes problems. There is no automatic way to override a
specific obsolete, you have to disable the calculation of obseletes in
some fashion.
The above is fixed in yum 3.0.2 or above. 3.0.2 isn't out yet, but it
will be.
