It is a problem as just rebuilding them don't force installing them on all existing machines. In such cases I propose changing package name Obsoletes to Conflicts: package-name < (E:V-R before Provides has been added). Also, you found a set of packages which are really mutually exclusive and installing more than one makes no sense: issue*. Just dropping Obsoletes makes an unresolved conflict in distribution (try poldek --verify=fileconflicts). I think P+O: issue-package (literally, virtual package with that name) is the way to go (keeping in mind previous paragraph). -- Jakub Bogusz http://qboosh.pl/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
