Description Jeff Pitman 2004-08-28 13:32:27 UTC
Description of problem: 
 
Sometimes it is difficult to get a set of possible packages setup for 
Obsoletes.  One way to make things easier is to be able to Obsolete a 
common file or directory shared among these sets of packages. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
 
4.3.1 
 
Example Tag: 
 
Obsoletes: /usr/lib/python2.3 
 
Actual results: 
 
error: line 17: File name not permitted: 
Obsoletes: /usr/lib/python2.3 
 
Expected results: 
 
Successful SPEC compile with filename or directory obsoletes.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2004-10-17 18:28:05 UTC
Added to rpm cvs HEAD, should be in rpm-4.4.
