Description dan 2010-06-16 11:04:35 UTC
Description of problem:
The Quagga package incorrectly claims to obsolete Bird (and other routing packages).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Name       : quagga
Arch       : x86_64
Version    : 0.98.6
Release    : 5.el5_5.1
Size       : 1.1 M
Repo       : updates

How reproducible:
Try to install Bird automagically (as from a kickstart, for example).
From the .spec file for Quagga :
Obsoletes: bird gated mrt zebra

Additional info:

Apparently it was acknowledged and marked to be fixed in Fedora 10.
It's still a problem in CentOS 5.5 .

What is the issue with fixing this?  It's a simple spec file change with limited consequences.
