[Bug 330992] rpm -U obsoletes other packages with same Obsoletes/Provides

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330992#c3 --- Comment #3 from Michael Schröder 2007-10-05 07:08:31 MST --- That's in fact standard behavior of rpm-4.4. My personal opinion is that this is wrong, and I also convinced the rpm-4.4.2.* branch to change the code, but it currently is what rpm does. Unfortunately some people need this behavior. The YaST guys use it to obsolete old product versions (i.e. they don't want to list each and every product made from SLES10 in the SLES11 products) and the toolchain folks also use it in their compiler packages. So I really don't know what to do. The best thing would IMHO be to provide both ways somehow. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
