Description Andrew Farris 2004-05-01 00:23:47 UTC

Description of problem:
The latest (4.0.2-1) switchdesk and -gui components have odd behavior
when updating from switchdesk for FC1.  The switchdesk-3.x package is
removed/updated by rpm but the gui components for the old version are
not removed (they apparently do not depend on the 3.x package). 
Upgrade of the new switchdesk-gui package does remove the old gui
packages (-kde and -gnome) but install of the new -gui package does
NOT remove the old packages (obseletes?).  The install and upgrade
behavior for the new -gui package should be the same.

I have not verified this happens with the update yet, it may be dealt
with already by anaconda.  This is run on a rawhide system with
switchdesk removed prior to this exercise.

using "rpm -i packages" only installs new package but does not update !
that means that only package will be not removed.

If you want to update your package you have to use rpm -U instead -i.
