Description of problem: It would be nice if the EPEL5 php-pear-Mail-Mime-1.4.0 rpm spec file would list: Provides: php-pear(Mail_mimeDecode) = 0.0.1 so that an upgrade to php-pear-Mail-Mime >= 1.5 where mimeDecode was split to another package would pull that additional package in as a dependency. No, this version is not possible to upgrade to in EPEL5, because of a requirement on a newer version of php-pear. But there are lots of people using 3rd party php rpms on EL5 since the standard php is so old and the php53 packages cause issues and also don't include an upgrade to php-pear. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): php-pear-Mail-Mime-1.4.0-1.el5.noarch.rpm Additional info: mimeDecode.php (as part of this rpm) is required by Horde webmail. This fix would be useful to anyone running Horde on EL5 and upgrading pear packages for other reasons or to support the next version of Horde (eg, rpms from rpms.famillecollet.com). It wouldn't affect anyone just using the standard php-pear packages in RHEL5/EPEL5.
I think we can add Provides: php-pear(Mail_mimeDecode) = %{version} 1.4.0 was the last version with mimeDecode 1.5.0 was the first version without mimeDecode, and also the first mimeDecode stable version. I will take care of this change.
