[Bug 1170232] New: Kernel spec self obsoletes

This is known to cause errors in various tools and should thus be avoided, usually by using appropriately versioned Obsoletes and/or Provides and avoiding unversioned ones. Packages should not self-obsolete, as this breaks rpm and causes bugs like this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1824102. Not sure why this works with zypper, but it shouldn't. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

You can only have one of them installed. The obsoletes listed above do not cause problems. As noted in the RH bug it only happens 'sometimes' - that is when there are multiple rebuilds of the same kernel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

That shouldn't be a problem. It certainly isn't in Fedora, Mageia, OpenMandriva, ROSA, Yocto, etc. using DNF. The packaging here is clearly buggy and needs some cleanup to simplify and rationalize the behavior. Self-obsoletes are not okay... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Self-obsoletes are not okay...
To clarify, self-obsoletes are when the obsolete matches the provides. For example: Provides: foo = 1.0 Obsoletes: foo <= 1.0 That's in contrast to normal ones like so: Provides: foo = 1.0 Obsoletes: foo < 1.0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

As a sidenote, this clearly should be an rpmlint error, not a warning -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

In general, we can change the version for "Provides" to either the current version or some fixed version that is new enough. Those provides/obsoletes are just for migration from the older products. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I would probably recommend using "+1" since it makes it more clear to _humans_ that you've bumped it separately (since we have no control over the Release field...). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
