--- Comment #13 from Christopher Yeleighton
This comment directly contradicts comment #6. I am confused.
I don't see how.
Deinstalling the package with the versioned entry will also cause the unversioned entry to be removed.
Removing gcc44-info removes the entry cpp from the info directory (info).
Installing or removing gcc44-info will not affect the unversioned link.
Removing gcc44-info leaves the file cpp.info intact. So, indeed, no contradiction: the entry goes but the file remains.
What remains to be seen is what happens on distribution upgrade when the system gcc is updated and gcc-info is installed.
Updating gcc should create the file cpp46.info and register it in the info directory. Installing gcc-info should create the file cpp.info and register it in the info directory. Updating gcc should trigger an update of gcc-info, otherwise things could go stale. Removing gcc46-info should trigger an update of gcc-info as well. If this would leave gcc-info without any supporting package, gcc-info should be removed along with it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
