I'm now confused, the packman package has the same name libslv2-9 now I remember, I looked at the packman package and it provided libslv2-8 so I used the conflict to cause the openSUSE version to be installed with the openSUSE devel package after I discovered that the packman package remained installed when I installed the slv2 devel package. Of course for building purposes only the openSUSE version will be installed but even though 99% of the time it won't cause a problem the package that was built against a particular library should use that library at runtime.
The installation system gets confused by the pm in the packman release number sometimes.
that is actually the reason why we have the shared library packaging policy. so old libraries can remain installed so conflicts between shared library packages are a no go in general. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
