and I would say this is the most correct form
Provides: fiwalk = %{version}-%{release} Obsoletes: fiwalk < %{version}-%{release}
but Obsoletes: fiwalk < 0.7 or fiwalk <= 0.6.16 will work too.
IMHO hardcoding the last version in Obsoletes: is even better ;-) because it also does the job with less possible side effects. Just imagine what happens if someone starts a new, totally different project and for some reason names it fiwalk. With the hardcoded version in Obsoletes: chances are better that sleuthkit won't accidently uninstall the "other" fiwalk 1.0 in 3 years ;-) Hmm, the guidelines don't contain anything about using %{version} vs. using a hardcoded version. Should we add a paragraph about it? Proposal: Obsoletes: should always contain the version number of the last available package. If you want to obsolete foo 1.1, use Obsoletes: foo <= 1.1 Do not use "Obsoletes: foo < %{version}"! Regards, Christian Boltz --
