You can see it on an example of java-1_6_0-sun-plugin.rpm, which obsoletes java-1.5.0-plugin and thus java-1_5_0-sun-plugin.rpm. So when you try to install both packages, zypper bails on conflicts (*), while rpm allows you to install without any problem (might be due to the fact the obsoleted name is not a package).
No, that's because you probably did 'rpm -i java-1_6_0-sun-plugin.rpm' while rpm only deletes obsoleted packages when upgrading (-U):
I see, but that still makes a difference, rpm allows you to install both at the same time while zypper does not. How would rpm behave in this scenario? # rpm -ivh java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-0.rpm java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-0.rpm # rpm -Uvh java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-1.rpm java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.rpm Would it complain (in the second step, the first step succeeds), uninstall 1_5_0 silently or upgrade both?
