Description of problem: redhat-config-packages should support upgrades of packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.8 or 1.1.9 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. redhat-config-packages --tree <install tree> 2. Install a package... 3. exit 4. Replace the rpm file for the above mentioned package on <install tree> with a newer version (and run genhdlist etc.) 5. redhat-config-packages --tree <install tree> Actual results: Nothing special... Expected results: "Update" enabled before anything is selected. Pressing the button directly will install the new version of the package. Additional info: What I'm really saying is that it would also be nice to be able to use redhat-config-packages to keep a system up-to-date. Yeah, I know that up2date may be used for that, but I don't think that tool is very practical when you are maintaning a network with several similar setups. Some sort of special behaviour when comps.xml has changed would also be nice, but may be hard to implement; I'm assuming that the package group state as such isn't saved anywhere.
This isn't going to happen with the current generation of system-config-packages. The next generation tool (which should hopefully be in FC5) will have better support for this.
