Bug 1494910

Thanks for report,

This is caused by a chnage in MariaDB packaging by me.
I stopped builidng mariadb client library part in the "mariadb" package, which means - for example - that "mariadb-libs" are build no more.

The exact same functionality is now provided by package called "mariadb-connector-c"

There is a tracker for the change: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486480

---

I'll look more into this issue.
It will be probabbly needed to set some "Obsoletes:" tags around those packages in order to "DNF update" them smoothly.

Then, if mariadb-connector-c provides the mariadb-libs functionality, the new
package should have 'mariadb-libs' artificial provide to have clean upgrade
path.

Some docs:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages

Thanks Pavel!

So it will be something like this:


# Provides mariadb-libs for DNF to make update smoothly
# this provides should be removed in >=F29
%if 0%{?fedora} >= 29
#macros can't use '<=', only '>='
%else
%if 0%{?__isa_bits} == 64
Provides: mariadb-libs%{?_isa} = 3:10.2.8-4.fc28
Provides: mysql-libs%{?_isa} = 3:10.2.8-4.fc28
Obsoletes: mariadb-libs%{?_isa} <= 3:10.2.8-3.fc28
Obsoletes: mysql-libs%{?_isa} <= 3:10.2.8-3.fc28
%else
Provides: mariadb-libs = 3:10.2.8-4.fc28
Provides: mysql-libs = 3:10.2.8-4.fc28
Obsoletes: mariadb-libs <= 3:10.2.8-3.fc28
Obsoletes: mysql-libs <= 3:10.2.8-3.fc28
%endif # isa_bits
%endif # f29

Can you please review it, Honza? (or Pavel, of course)
( Builds fine: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=22073033 )

I'm not sure, but the "%if %_isa" dance shouldn't be needed, just use %_isa..
Also I don't think the expanded %release is necessary, simply use the version
like 3:10.2.8

Sorry, release is needed -- just don't expand the %dist macro.

Ok, after short discussion:

Provides: mariadb-libs = 3:10.2.8-4
Provides: mysql-libs = 3:10.2.8-4
Obsoletes: mariadb-libs <= 3:10.2.8-3
Obsoletes: mysql-libs <= 3:10.2.8-3

---

* The ".fc28" shouldn't be there
* The "isa" stuff shouldn't be needed
* The Provides / Obsoletes should be in all Fedoras

---

However, I think better approchach would be to deal with this issue directly in MariaDB package - which I am doing now.

%if %{without clibrary}
Obsoletes: %{name}-libs%{?_isa} <= %{sameevr}
%endif

This issue should be solved by the latest update in rawhide.

It may be needed to use "--allowerasing" dnf option.

Please test it and let me know.

Semes to be fine.

I did not read that far in comment #7 last time and reading now -- but this
seems to be wrong (no point in using %_isa).  Duplicate bug 1498956.
