hi all,
i have a problem with one of my packages, python-openssl: the previous
version was called 0.7a and the current one is 0.7.
However, in rpm's (and zypp's) view 0.7a > 0.7 and the package will
break distribution upgrade because it won't let itself be "downgraded".
How can i work around this? Is it possible to e.g. specify that the
newer one Obsoletes: %{name} = 0.7a and be done with it?
thanks for help
m.

You just can't package such pre releases with their official
'version'. Call them 0.6_0.7a or similar instead.

As a workaround, you could name the current version '0.7final' or perhaps
'0.7.0' already works.
cheers,

Why do you think so? The dist upgrade algorithm happily downgrades
packages.
Cheers,

As long as we make clear that this is the policy, I'm fine with that. so far I
didn't know that this is an invalid (unspported) setup. with the shared
library policy in place more users will have older distributions as addon
repository in their sources list, therefore I think my bugreport is valid. it
is the most sensible solution imho. in that situation, the current
distribution upgrade algorithmn will pick the 11.0 package even though it is
from an older code stream, which is why I filed the bugreport.
I read somewhere that
Provides: python-openssl > 0.7a
would help with the version downgrade.
Feel free to close it if we declare this setup as "broken".
Greetings,
Dirk
