Description of problem: QMF stuff was moved from python-qmf toplevel package to qpid-qmf. Installation of qpid-qmf-debuginfo fails if python-qmf-debuginfo is installed. qpid-qmf-debuginfo should obsolete python-qmf-debuginfo. The change (python-qmf toplevel -> qpid-qmf) is not visible externally, so it is low prio/severity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-qmf-debuginfo-0.9.1079953-3.el5 -> qpid-qmf-debuginfo-0.10-2.el5 How reproducible: 100% on RHEL4/5 Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install python-qmf-debuginfo-0.9.1079953-3.el5 2. yum install qpid-qmf-debuginfo-0.10-2.el5 3. echo $? Actual results: qpid-qmf-debuginfo-0.10-2.el5 does not upgrade qpid-qmf-debuginfo-0.10-2.el5. Expected results: qpid-qmf-debuginfo-0.10-2.el5 should upgrade qpid-qmf-debuginfo-0.10-2.el5.

After consulting with different people, the consensus seems to be that we should release note this (and not support direct update), instead of trying to hack the generation of the debuginfo rpm. The rationale is that people who use debuginfo rpms are knowledgeable enough to handle the extra step of manual removal.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause Due to package reorganization (namely moving QMF code from the top-level python-qmf package to the qpid-qmf set of packages), some QMF-related debug symbols moved from python-qmf-debuginfo to qpid-qmf-debuginfo. This makes a direct upgrade of debuginfo from 1.3.2 to a later version fail to work due to file conflicts. Consequence Installation/upgrade of messaging and qmf packages will fail with file conflicts if debug symbols are installed and requested to automatically update. Workaround The workaround is to manually uninstall the previous version of the debuginfo package before attempting to install/upgrade the newer messaging and qmf packages, as such: $ rpm -ev python-qmf-debuginfo Result The workaround does not introduce any limitations, and should prove to be simple to execute for users of debuginfo packages.
Release note explains the problem well. -> VERIFIED
