Depends on the rpm version. rpm3 did not look at provides, unmodified rpm4 looked at provides. We patched that feature *out* in some of our releases.
With "provides", do you also mean "obsoletes"?
I meant that if a package contains an obsoletes, rpm will also obsolete all packages that provide this dependency.
Currently, rpm4 *upstream* (maintained by Panu) does no longer look at the provides, while rpm5 upstream does.
As we are not going for rpm5 any time soon, looks like we stick with the same behavior as always.
The question is then if we should not change zypp to mimic the rpm behavior.
Oh, we already do that. I had to patch rpm in both directions to make it compatible to zypp. Sigh, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Markus Rex, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
