From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: postgresql-python is the bane of my existence. Whether it's in RHEL or Fedora or the Legacy stuff. It is the only package out there that Conflicts with an earlier and later version of python. Why does it conflict python? That's got to be the most bizarre decision. But, damage has been done. Not even sure how I am going to rectify this as I try to provide multiple versions of python on the same distro. Please, nuke this line out of the spec for FC5+ and RHEL5+. Maybe by then I can toss the burden of repackaging postgresql just to take that line out so that depsolvers like yum get passed it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all, like redhat 7.3 on How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cvs co postgresql 2. vim postgresql/postgreql.spec 3. search for Conflicts Additional info:
I checked with some folks who remember, and it seems this hack was needed for something-or-other back around the Red Hat 2.0 time frame. I agree there's no apparent need for it now. Will yank it next time there's an opportunity for a respin.
Done in postgresql-8.0.4-2.FC4.1.
