https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223891 ------- Comment #5 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-11-27 12:46 MST ------- Be careful not to mix up things here, you're evaluating an RC1 -> RC2 upgrade. mozilla-xulrunner180 and mozilla-xulrunner181 are parallel installable, but mozilla-xulrunner is not parallel installable with either of them. 10.1 originally had mozilla-xulrunner. This package was not using the update-alternatives system. Then it was renamed to mozilla-xulrunner180 and got update-alternatives support, but this was never part of a released product because it was done after the 10.1 release. And then there is mozilla-xulrunner181 (what we currently have), using update-alternatives, too. Summary: mozilla-xulrunner + mozilla-xulrunner180: Not parallel installable, but mozilla-xulrunner is in fact just a renamed mozilla-xulrunner, so there's a proper upgrade path and no need to install both in parallel. mozilla-xulrunner180 + mozilla-xulrunner181: Parallel installable thanks to update-alternatives, but this does not help because mozilla-xulrunner180 was introduced after 10.1 and dropped before 10.2. mozilla-xulrunner + mozilla-xulrunner181: _Not_ parallel installable. Try it yourself: Use a 10.1 system, build mozilla-xulrunner181 without the "Obsoletes" tag and you'll see that the postinstall scriptlet of mozilla-xulrunner181 will fail because the old mozilla-xulrunner blocks /usr/bin/xulrunner without using update-alternatives and so mozilla-xulrunner181 won't be able to register itself for /usr/bin/xulrunner (it will silently fail). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
