upgrade wants to install new packages that urpmi doesn't

[dfandrich]

After a sudo urpmi --auto-update (that installed nothing), running urpm update; urpm upgrade wants to install a bunch of new packages:

  Install (19) - new dependencies:
    drv_z42-0.4.3-21.mga9.x86_64                    fluid-soundfont-common-3.1-16.mga9.noarch
    kdeartwork-wallpapers-2:15.08.3-6.mga9.noarch   lm1100-1.0.2a-23.mga9.x86_64
    lxcontrol-1.3-26.mga9.noarch                    motif-2.3.8-7.mga9.x86_64
    mtink-1.0.16-24.mga9.x86_64                     perl-XML-Checker-0.130.0-11.mga9.noarch
    perl-XML-DOM-XPath-0.140.0-13.mga9.noarch       perl-XML-Filter-DetectWS-0.10.0-10.mga9.noarch
    perl-XML-Filter-SAXT-0.10.0-11.mga9.noarch      perl-XML-XPathEngine-0.140.0-9.mga9.noarch
    poster-0-0.20060221.15.mga9.x86_64              printer-utils-2008-17.mga9.noarch
    texlive-dist-20220321-12.mga9.noarch            texlive-texmf-20220321-12.mga9.noarch
    timidity-patch-fluid-3.1-16.mga9.noarch         timidity-patch-gravis-1.0-38.mga9.noarch
    z42tool-0.4.3-21.mga9.x86_64

I looked at two of these chosen randomly (motif and mtink) and found that none of the packages that require them (according to urpmq --whatrequires) were installed. /etc/urpmi/skip.list is empty.

Why is urpmi happy with the state of the system but urpm is not?

Hello, can you retest with version 0.7.2 please ?

[pvi-github]

you can now test with urpm 0.7.4

With urpm the upgrade process is :
(sudo or su -c) urpm m u
(not really needed most of the time because meta data upgrade rather often in background but if you want to make sure you have the last media info feel free to...)

(sudo or su -c) urpm u
This does the upgrade itself

if urpmi --auto-update is happy urpm u should be too.
