From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: The spec file for libungif sets an Obsoletes for giflib. Since the Unisys patent has expired, some people may wish to install the API compatable version of giflib and get lzw compression when creating gif images. When they do this, however, the obsoletes tag in libungif causes their giflib to then be replaced by libungif again with a yum update. The fix is simple, and should be considered for FC4 - remove the obsoletes tag from the spec file, so that users who want to replace libungif with a giflib package can do so without needing to set excludes in their package update software. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libungif-4.1.3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. uninstall libungif and replace with giflib that provides identical files. 2. run yum update 3. yum will want to replace giflib with libungif Additional info: Workaround - tell yum/up2date/apt to ignore libungif if you want to replace it with a giflib rpm.
