The shared library from x.rpm was moved to a subpackage libx0.rpm. Since x.rpm contained just that lib the new libx0.rpm now has: Obsoletes: x < %version Provides: x = %version But since x.rpm and libx0.rpm have the very same version number the %version is actually %version-%release for both tags. Unfortunately the %release of x.rpm is larger than the one from libx0.rpm. As a result x.rpm will not be removed, and zypper reports fileconflicts. Is there a way for the packager or OBS admin to adjust the release, other than creating 20 dummy SR for Factory? The offending package is libquvi-0.9.4-23.1.rpm, built Dec 2014 in PMBS. Now the package is in TW, there is no need to have it in PMBS anymore.

Why is that? Sinc libx0 and x are build from the same source they should get the same version-release tag.

x contained the lib last year, this year the lib is in libx0 and x does not exist anymore. just as I wrote. And since the project is dead there will be no releases anymore.

Why didn't the release increase then?

Why aren't you dropping it then?

Then the %release tag has changed, and you should use < %version-%release just like most of the other .specs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

How is it going to work in derived repos where release numbers are not related in any way? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Not at all, like in this case. Factory has libx0-0.9.4-4.1, which obsoletes < x-0.9.4-4.1. But that does not obsolete the installed x-0.9.4-23.1 which came from packman. I guess in this case the only way out would be a plain Obsoletes: x Olaf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

It may be stupid, but what about two "Obsoletes" lines: Obsoletes: x < %version-%release # specific obsolete last packman version Obsoletes: x = 0.9.4-23.1 But, there also was a way to set the %release in a spec file, this would be better, IMHO. Otherwise, intoduce a added 'patchnumber' to the upstream version string, e.g. Version = 0.9.4.1 - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
