My understanding is that we used to have these Obsoletes to make "rpm -U" working. But, it's obviously nonsense for the multi-version deployment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

But multiversion can be both enabled and disabled so there is no way to make it work 100% in all cases.

Yeah, but if multiversion is active, the Obsoletes: causes an older version of the kernel to not _completely_ work anymore. These Obsoletes are difficult to deal with for *all* multiversion packages; I know of only kernel-* packages utilizing it. If we don't cover the 100% case (i.e. leaving an otherwise unused package installed in the file system), so what? It just needs some space, but it doesn't break an otherwise working (older) kernel, at least. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, that's a problem, we have no perfect solution, so it's rather a judgement call which approach gives more better result (and still safe enough). The only significant regression by the removal of obsoletes would be the migration from old SP to new SP. It might work, might not, we need a check. OTOH, for TW, there is no such case, so I don't think it matters much. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
