Why updates should not be treated as obsoletes of the pkg name can be
easily seen at the example already mentioned earlier.
python-2.4 (virtual provides python = 2.4)
python22 provides python = 2.2
rpm -Uvh python-2.5-1.rpm
removes both of the packages above.
Maybe, but look at Fedora's python package. It contains:
python-2.4.2:
Provides: python2 = 2.4.2
Obsoletes: python2
python22 will probably also contain:
Provides: python2 = 2.2
Now installung python-2.5-1 also removes both packages.
Too much copy'n'paste. It should read:
Now installung python-2.4.2 removes python22.
Yup, and it's just insane behavior.
I'm hereby declaring the current behavior as a longstanding bug, now fixed
in rpm.org tree and will be in 4.4.2.1.
