Description of problem: When trying to install a package depending on python-polib on a system that has newer version installed (python2-polib 1.0.7-2) DNF does not recognize the package and creates conflict. Actual results: Error: installed package python2-polib-1.0.7-2.fc23.noarch obsoletes python-polib < 1.0.7-2.fc23 provided by python-polib-1.0.3-6.fc23.noarch (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) Expected results: dnf doesn't try to erase the newer package Additional info:
$ rpm -q --provides python2-polib python-polib = 1.0.7-3.fc24 python2-polib = 1.0.7-3.fc24 So this is either a problem in dnf or something wrong with the %python_provide macro.
It seems I ran into this again. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096506 Thanks for looking into it.
