Description Jens Petersen 2013-10-04 00:58:02 UTC
Description of problem:
mate-desktop.spec has "Obsoletes: mate-desktop < %{version}-%{release}".
It should not be necessary or meaningful for packages to obsolete themselves.

This results in yum showing

Installing:
 mate-desktop                   x86_64 1.6.2-0.1.git81c245b.fc19 updates  342 k
     replacing  mate-desktop.x86_64 1.6.1-11.fc19

rather than showing the update under "Updating:".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mate-desktop-1.6.2-0.1.git81c245b

Please drop the obsoletes, thanks.

> It should not be necessary or meaningful for packages to obsolete themselves.

Not generally, but it may be required for an arch<->noarch change. Doesn't seem to be the case for mate-desktop (unless there's a 3rd party noarch metapackage somewhere).


When this obsoletes tag was added with an unexpanded %version-%release, the changelog comment only added "Update obsoletes and requires field":
