textutils doesn't have an Epoch, and the version number increased... Assigning to anaconda This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax. textutils needs an epoch. rpm version compares are done by '.' separated sections. So, for this case: 2 == 2 0 < 0e The 14 doesn't even come into the equation. (jbj, am I misunderstanding this?) Nod, needs an epoch, or other surgery on the '0' piece in the version. Odd, rpm -Fvh on the package worked. bero: you are probably using RPM v4.0.2. As I pointed out in Bug #51333, RPM v4.0.3 changes the way package comparissons are handled. So if you do the upgrade from 6.2 -> 7.1 -> 7.2, it will work correctly, but if you go from 6.2 -> 7.2 it breaks. And the actually break down of the comparisson is: 2 == 2 0 == 0 e > 14 because the transition from digits to alpha chars has an implied . See bugzilla #50977 for what needs doing. Meanwhile, since some upgrade path with some version or rpm is failing to do the right thing, add the epoch just in case ... Added in 2.0.14-2 |
