It is up to the higher level applications to define which package updates are allowed. Obsolete (on the rpm level) simply says that the installation of this package automatically erases the obsoleted packages. SUSE is using "provides+obsoletes" as an indication that this is an official update path which can be taken without asking the user. The new SAT solver contains a flag "noupdateprovide" to make thins configurable, i.e. you can set it to true if you want the behavior smart uses. -- 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.
