For the record, there's now a partial fix for this case now at upstream - it doesn't help with -i --replacepkgs but it does fix the more "common" -U --replacepkgs: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/770 As there's no real pressure to get this fixed, lets just defer it to some possible future date. The case of installing/upgrading with -U is fixed upstream and Fedora, but backport is on the scary side, and for -i there is no solution which would not involve breaking longstanding rpm principles. |
