[opensuse-buildservice] Dependency resolution prefers package names rather than "provides"?
With the OBS down I can't give any example now. But if there is
packageA-devel in openSUSE:12.1 and in the devel project it is renamed
to stillpackageA-devel, the other packages in that devel project that
require "packageA-devel" seem to prefer packageA-devel to
stillpackageA-devel. stillpackageA-devel provides "packageA-devel =

No, you should get an "unresolvabe error". But "BuildRequires" indeed prefer the exact name. Maybe that's the issue in your case.

Yes, sorry, I meant BuildRequires. What's the logic behind that behaviour? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Otherwise you wouldn't be able to select with package you need if there are multiple choices. (I.e. it's a way to locally overwrite the prefers from the project config).
