Properly require one of podman or docker **with** specifying a preference for podman?
Hi all, while packaging apx (https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/apx) I noticed something funny with distrobox. distrobox has the following line in the spec: Requires: (%{_bindir}/podman or %{_bindir}/docker) However, on a new Tumbleweed VM or container, installing distrobox does not pull in podman, it pulls in docker. I would have assumed that the first in the list, i.e. podman, is being installed if neither is already installed. Is there a way to tell RPM to "favor" podman over docker, if neither is already installed? Kind Regards, Johannes

Hm, never seen depending on binaries (in openSUSE), but that is definitely a bug, as I have a couple packages where i give a choice, and it autoselects the first option (package names))

No, it is not. zypper (or, likely libsolv) just takes the first in alphabetical order.

Suggests: podman

this behavior changed then. I can remember when I did change streamlink to offer vlc and mpv, I tested that on TW, and it always offered vlc (as it's the first)
