Interpreting Yum Dependency Error

Question

Seems like a rev number is missing in this dependency error from Yum:

# yum -y update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Resolving Dependencies

--> Processing Dependency: ruby(release) for package: 
simspark-0.2.4-1.fc18.i686
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: simspark-0.2.4-1.fc18.i686 (updates)
 Requires: ruby(release)

References to "ruby(release)" seem incomplete. Does this suggest a config error somewhere? rpm says ruby-1.9.3.429-30.fc18.i68 is installed.

Answer 1

# yum -y update

do *not* use "-y"
what are you doing if due a packaging-error half of the system would be removed?

make a bugreport for "simspark" and ask how this got pushed to satble while even the maintainer did not install the package or he would have noticed the problem
