Description Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) 2012-10-06 09:14:43 UTC
Description of problem: Running yum update when a ntfs-3g update occurs, one can see a special notice for obsoleted packages:



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up to 2012.1.15-4.fc18

How reproducible:
always on ntfs-3g version or release update

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update
  
Actual results:
ntfsprofs use the Obsoletes package update path.

Expected results:
ntfs-3g and sub-package should update like any normal update.

Additional info:
There is a need to remove these lines from ntfs-3g spec:
<------------
# Needed to fix multilib issue
Obsoletes:      ntfsprogs < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}
------------>

As this case doesn't apply to multilib since ntfs-3g doesn't have any libraries and is only provided once in the x86_64 repository.

At the very least, Obsoletes should be harcoded at the version when the changes occurred, but not use any %version-%release macro
