Description of problem: The current cman package does not conflict with earlier gfs2-utils packages despite the fact that it is incompatible with those packages. The spec file need to be updated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@men-an-tol steve]# rpm -qi cman Name : cman Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.99.08 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 1.fc10 Build Date: Tue 12 Aug 2008 09:50:12 AM BST Install Date: Wed 03 Sep 2008 03:54:45 PM BST Build Host: x86-4 Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: cluster-2.99.08-1.fc10.src.rpm Size : 2777868 License: GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ Signature : (none) Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/ Summary : Red Hat Cluster Manager Description : Red Hat Cluster Manager How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install cman from rawhide over an older distro, e.g. f-9 which already has gfs2-utils installed 2. 3. Actual results: Installs ok, but fails to work Expected results: Should refuse to install cman until conflict with earlier gfs2-utils is resolved. Additional info:
As discussed on IRC, partial upgrades from major distro release to major distro release are not supported (or at least i can't find any reference in the Fedora documentation that state differently). Upgrading from F9 to F10 will pull in the right packages in the right versions. Anyway if there is a reference that we should support partial upgrades, please let me know because the Conflicts: complexity is way higher than just gfs2-utils. Fabio
