I believe the issue here is that openSuSE is using RPM relations in ways that are not the traditional ways in which RPM relations are handled. E.g.: """ However, the Provides: entry triggers the selection of the new package during update. It is this field which tells, I'm taking over for the old package. The Obsoletes: just ensures an atomic replacement so that no dependencies are broken. """ That's from http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Dependencies#Renaming_a_package That's definitely not the way that these relations were meant to be used in RPM, and that's not the way that every other "package manager" (dependency solver, whatever) I'm aware of handles them. -- 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.
