Just as an (untested) idea:

3.18.3-1.3 packages could contain something like %define version_without_rebuild_number = 3.18.3-1 Provides: %name-build = %{version_without_rebuild_number} Conflicts: otherprovides(%name-build) = %{version_without_rebuild_number} (or maybe s/Conflicts/Obsoletes/) to let it conflict with other packages that only differ in the rebuild counter.

Hm, but won't it result in just raising the conflict to the upper level? zypper would still ask users to resolve, I guess.

Or, KISS fix, just use the full release number (including rebuild count) for the file and directory names ;-)

This would result in varying file contents at each package rebuild, and it's what I'd like to avoid. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
