Description Milan Crha 2013-08-14 15:03:45 UTC

While investigating bug #658067 and testing various ways of dealing with it we ended with three versions:
a) openchange-1.0-4, which only defines:
   Obsoletes: openchange < 1.0-4

b) openchange-1.0-5, it defines obsoletes for each subpackage too,
   thus it looks like:
   Obsoletes: openchange < 1.0-4

   %package devel
   ...
   Obsoletes: openchange-devel < 1.0-5


c) openchange-1.0-6, which defines obsoletes for each subpackage right below
   the main package obsolete:

   Obsoletes: openchange < 1.0-6
   Obsoletes: openchange-devel < 1.0-6
   Obsoletes: openchange-client < 1.0-6
   Obsoletes: openchange-devel-docs < 1.0-6
   Obsoletes: openchange-python < 1.0-6
   Obsoletes: openchange-server < 1.0-6

Note of these work as expected:

# rpm -qa openchange\*
openchange-client-1.0-6.el6.x86_64
openchange-debuginfo-1.0-6.el6.x86_64
openchange-1.0-6.el6.x86_64
openchange-devel-1.0-6.el6.x86_64
openchange-devel-docs-1.0-6.el6.x86_64

     You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
     You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The expected output from my point of view is that the openchange-devel-0.9-7 will be completely ignored. Maybe it's something obvious, but I do not see what is causing this (from my point of view) misbehaviour.

Used versions are:

rpm-4.8.0-32.el6.x86_64
yum-3.2.29-40.el6.noarch
rpm-libs-4.8.0-32.el6.x86_64
rpm-python-4.8.0-32.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 James Antill 2014-03-27 15:12:29 UTC

 So the latest .i686 version available is:

openchange-devel.i686 0:0.9-7.el6

...which is going to trigger the installed obsolete, right? What do you want/expect to happen?

 Even if you turn yum obsoletes off, rpm is going to do nothing. The error message isn't perfect, but I'm not sure it's worth trying to make it better.
