Description Chris Ricker 2002-03-15 05:24:31 UTC
the tcpdump-3.6.2-12 rpms in rawhide and in beta2 differ

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2002-03-26 10:23:00 UTC
[harald@faro harald]$ diff -u tcpdump-rawhide.spec tcpdump-7.3.spec 
[harald@faro harald]$ 


Comment 2 Chris Ricker 2002-03-26 14:46:45 UTC
Of course they don't diff.  That's why it's a bug -- they should vary in at
least version number.

The problem is that tcpdump-3.6.2-12 from beta2 and tcpdump-3.6.2-12 from
rawhide were built in different environments, against different libraries, and
potentially with different bugs.  However, since the version number wasn't
revved like it should have been for the rawhide build, you've now thrown out
all ability to track bug reports by package version, since there are two
packages being distributed with different bugs and the exact same package
version....

See the big discussion about all this on the testers-list on the 15th, when it
was noticed that several packages, including tcpdump, have this problem.
