Description Terje Røsten 2010-07-14 22:38:35 UTC
Description of problem:

latest perl in rawhide has: 

Obsoletes: perl-suidperl <= 4:5.10.1-118

while my system has perl-suidperl 4:5.10.1-118.fc14 note the fc14 disttag here,
this means the installed version is newer and the obsolete tag
has no effect. Please fix this by changing e.g. to:

Obsoletes: perl-suidperl < 4:5.10.1-119

or something similar with the same effect.

For more background please read this thread on yum-devel:

Thanks for bug report. This will be fixed in next build.

Thanks for report. We have already spotted the problem.

However I'm not sure this is the right solution. Imagine we release new
perl-suidperl-4:5.10.1-119 in F13, F13 user installs it and then he decides to
upgrade to F14. Things will go wrong. I think

  Obsoletes: perl-suidperl < 4:5.12.1

is more appropriate to avoid my hypothetic scenario. The 4:5.12.1 is first
version where perl-suidperl is missing.

I will discuss it with Marcela, package owner, and we will release F14 perl as
soon as possible.

Comment 3 Terje Røsten 2010-07-15 07:54:56 UTC
Thanks for the quick respons, Obsoletes: perl-suidperl < 4:5.12.1 seems correct.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2010-07-15 17:03:42 UTC
Fixed in CVS.
