Fixed in current rawhide, and will also be ffixed in future rawhides. The problem is back. file /usr/share/control-center/Desktop/screensaver-properties.desktop from install of control-center-1.4.0.1-30 conflicts with file from package xscreensaver-4.01-2 xscreensaver-4.01-2 is no longer in current rawhide... Please don't be so oblique. Do you mean there is a new version, or that
xscreensaver is gone altogether? From the look of things, it's the latter.
# rpm -e xscreensaver
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
xscreensaver >= 4.01 is needed by control-center-1.4.0.1-25
I guess I need to remove the package and install new control-center in one
RPM-operation. How do I do that? I could make a dummy package with higher
version number containing no files to get rid of the conflict, but it's a bit
awkward.
(Is this a case where deb is superior? A deb would say that control-center
replaces xscreensaver. Can RPM do that?)
He means just what he said. The RPM about which you're reporting a problem, xscreensaver-4.01-2, is no longer the current xscreensaver version in Raw Hide. It wasn't removed, it was downgraded. The current Raw Hide xscreensaver version is 3.33-4, which (I think) doesn't have this problem. Allright, so shouldn't epoch for xscreensaver 3.33-4 be bumped? 4.01-2 was part of skipjack after all. I did fix the problem with # rpm --oldpackage -Uvh xscreensaver-3.33-4.i386.rpm control-center_1%3a1.4.0.1-30_i386.rpm (perhaps this exchange in Bugzilla is enough documentation :) The epoch doesn't need to be bumped because beta releases are caveat emptor, don't try to install them on a production system, don't try to upgrade from them after the final release comes out, etc. Beta packages which never make it to a production release "just didn't happen," as far as RH policies are concerned. *** Bug 63595 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** xscreensaver-4.01-2 is in Raw Hide now as far as I can tell? (with the file conflict) file /usr/share/control-center/Desktop/screensaver-properties.desktop from install of xscreensaver-4.01-2 conflicts with file from package control-center-1.4.0.1-31 |
