Description of problem: The new version of "rpm" brings a new build of "popt", but that hasn't got a new version. So, when restarting the release count of rpm (0.1, 0.2, 0.3), popt reverts to old version numbers, and must be installed e.g. with --oldpackage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): popt-1.9.1-0.3 rpm-4.3.2-0.3 How reproducible: With popt-1.9.1-0.3 from rpm-4.3.2-0.3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q --qf "%{VERSION} %{SOURCERPM}\n" popt 2. rpm -qp --qf "%{VERSION} %{SOURCERPM}\n" popt-1.9.1-0.3.i386.rpm 3. rpm -Uv --test popt-1.9.1-0.3.i386.rpm Actual results: root@sunshine:/usr/local/Fedora_update/new > rpm -q --qf "%{VERSION} %{SOURCERPM}\n" popt 1.9.1 rpm-4.3.1-0.3.src.rpm root@sunshine:/usr/local/Fedora_update/new > rpm -qp --qf "%{VERSION} %{SOURCERPM}\n" popt-1.9.1-0.3.i386.rpm 1.9.1 rpm-4.3.2-0.3.src.rpm root@sunshine:/usr/local/Fedora_update/new > rpm -Uv --test popt-1.9. 1-0.3.i386.rpm Preparing packages for installation... package popt-1.9.1-0.3 is already installed file /usr/lib/libpopt.a from install of popt-1.9.1-0.3 conflicts with file from package popt-1.9.1-0.3 file /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0.0.0 from install of popt-1.9.1-0.3 conflicts with file from package popt-1.9.1-0.3 Expected results: new popt version, ability to upgrade this package Additional info: This package is _not_ already installed. It is from a different source tree!
Okay, let me clarify that first paragraph: The new version of "rpm" brings a new build of "popt", but that hasn't got a dedicated new version number (at least in the rpm packages of it). So, when restarting the release count of rpm (0.1, 0.2, 0.3), popt reverted to old version-release numbers, and must now be installed e.g. with --oldpackage.
popt hasn't changed.
