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.

In this case the packman library is the same as the openSUSE library they are both libslv2-9 and they both have the same contents except the packman package also provides libslv2-8

that is totally wrong :)

my libslv2 package provides: libslv2-0 = 0.3.0 libslv2-4 = 0.3.2 libslv2-6 = 0.4.3 libslv2-8 = 0.5.0 libslv2.so.9 libslv2-9 = 0.6.6-1.pm.2.1 libslv2-9(x86-32) = 0.6.6-1.pm.2.1

the "old" versions are also obsoleted: libslv2-0 libslv2-4 libslv2-6 libslv2-8

...

so to prevent a mix of packman and openSUSE libslv2-9 packages I have obsoleted libslv2-8. If the packman libslv2-9 provides libslv2-8 then it is in conflict with the shared library packaging policy. I will happily remove it though because as I stated before it is only a slight possibility that it will cause a problem in which case if it does then I can close the bug as wontfix and refer the reporter to packman.

nothing to to from my side ...

Shall I remove the obsoletes and resubmit?

I was simply trying to remove an unknown quantity with a packman libslv2-9 and an openSUSE slv2-devel I'm busy trying to build cinelerra-4.2 and have encountered problems with the same versions of videolan and packman devel and lib mixes and had to physically install the matching devel and library packages.
