Description Rick L Vinyard Jr 2010-06-17 15:06:14 UTC

The obsoletes statement in the spec isn't getting rid of eclipse-cdt-mylyn packages from F12 on systems upgraded to F13.

As a result this is causing system updates to fail.

Here is the current obsoletes line:
Obsoletes: eclipse-cdt-mylyn <= 1:6.0.1-5.fc13

Perhaps the fc13 is too specific, as the package that needed to be obsoleted was eclipse-cdt-mylyn-6.0.1-8.fc12.

My solution was to yum erase it manually, but not all users may be comfortable doing that.

Comment 1 Rick L Vinyard Jr 2010-06-17 15:20:37 UTC

Never mind... it looks like the version in the obsoletes line is too old.

Comment 2 Rick L Vinyard Jr 2010-06-17 15:21:48 UTC

Just a clarificaiton... "never mind" referred to my suggestion regarding the fc version. The bug is in the obsoleted version.

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2010-09-01 13:54:55 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 4 Andrew Overholt 2010-09-01 15:09:24 UTC

Alex/Jeff, please take a look here.

Comment 5 Jeff Johnston 2010-09-01 20:36:06 UTC

A fix has been made to f13, f14, and rawhide to use an epoch of 2 to handle the eclipse-cdt-mylyn provides and obsoletes.  This will force the obsoletion of any f12 eclipse-cdt-mylyn package.

Comment 6 Alexander Kurtakov 2010-09-01 20:48:25 UTC

Why do we need the epoch 2?
Just changing the Obsoletes to be 
Obsoletes: eclipse-cdt-mylyn <= 1:6.0.1-8.fc12 should work, right?

it would work too, I could optimally set it to 7.0.0 which is definitely out of range for f12 and is already passed by f13/f14/rawhide if you would prefer.  This is only meaningful should it get put back into eclipse-cdt in the future and IMO this is extremely unlikely to ever happen.

Jeff, this is fixed long ago, right? Can we close it?

Yes, closing now.
