lesstif-devel contains an explicit Conflicts: openmotif-devel 1. This prevents packaging openmotif-devel outside of Fedora. 2. This doesn't make any sense for Fedora
Indeed. This was done at a time when I hoped for openmotif to be shipped during FC6, even with conflict on devel. I have a local fix, which should appear in 0.95.0-10, but I cannot rebuild without libGLw-devel. I am waiting for some days for libGLw-devel to appear in extras. If it takes too much time I'll rebuild without it as it is a this an unused optional dependency. Tell me how much time you can wait.
libGLw-devel appeareed, and now lesstif has been rebuilt without the conflict, it is fixed in 0.95.0-10.
I have readded a versioned obsoletes instead of conflicts, to solve Bug 221083: Obsoletes: openmotif <= 2.3.0-0.2.1 for lesstif, and Obsoletes: openmotif-devel <= 2.3.0-0.2.1 for lesstif-devel Please tell me if you have any concern with that.
Per Rex request, I removed Obsoletes: openmotif <= 2.3.0-0.2.1 To fix Bug 215560, I also added Obsoletes: openmotif21 <= 2.1.30-17.1.1 I am not worried about disturbing 3rd party packaging with that change, however, but about breaking custom software and packages that were linked against openmotif21
