The plain Requires: licenses can cause invalid licenses when another version of the package (with different licenses) is installed but the licenses package is not upgraded accordingly. I am speaking about the run-time system, not the build-time system.
But even a strict Requires: licenses = 1.2.3 where 1.2.3 is the exact version of the licenses package which was used during build-time may cause problems: Assume there are two packages foo and bar which both use the license batz in licenses 1.2.3 but then license batz is upgraded and also package foo is upgraded (using the upgraded license batz in licenses 1.2.4). Then there would have to be licenses 1.2.3 (for package bar) and licenses 1.2.4 (for upgraded package foo) installed.
as the symlink points to filenames which is the md5sum of the license itself. i think this is not an issue. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
