Description Enrico Scholz 2010-06-30 16:15:32 UTC
Description of problem:

Please make the conflicts against the samba-X package versioned; e.g. write

| Conflicts: samba < 3.3

instead of plain

| Conflicts: samba


I understand that 'samba3x' can not provide 'samba' due to unclear/unwanted packages upgrade effects. But the change above makes it possible to provide local adapter packages which satisfy 'samba' requirements by providing 'samba = 3.3' and requiring 'samba3x'.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

samba3x-3.3.8-0.52.el5_5.x86_64.rpm

Comment 1 Guenther Deschner 2010-06-30 17:30:44 UTC
Sorry, it is not quite clear to me what you want to achieve. Do you just want to be able to satisfy the requires: samba while using samba3x ?

Comment 3 Enrico Scholz 2010-06-30 20:33:14 UTC
yes

because there are probably reasons that samba3x does not have samba provides I want to solve this with a local helper package which has

| Requires:       samba3x > 3.3
| Provides:       samba = 3.3



But this does not work due to the unversioned 'Conflicts: samba' in samba3x.

(ditto for -client)

Comment 4 Dmitri Pal 2010-06-30 22:43:14 UTC
Can we mark this as a dup of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582756 then?

We plan to try to resolve it for 5.6.

Comment 5 Enrico Scholz 2010-07-01 05:56:39 UTC
The "Provides: samba" suggested by 582756 are an issue which should not be done in 5.5.

But I would like to use samba3x in 5.5 and the versioned conflicts do not have sideeffects so they can be applied in 5.5.

Comment 6 Jeremy West 2010-07-02 03:44:41 UTC
Enrico,

Please note that although Red Hat welcomes bug reports and feedback in our public bugzilla database, we request that you contact technical support for help/assistance on obtaining officially supported packages.
