I've used versioned Conflicts: on other subpackages of my own package.
This is necessary because versioned Requires: don't take arch into account,
and so don't do everything right in multilib situations.
Can the guidelines suggest how to address this?
e.g. elfutils-libs has:
Conflicts: elfutils-devel < %{version}-%{release}
Conflicts: elfutils-devel > %{version}-%{release}
Originally elfutils-devel just had:
Requires: elfutils-libs = %{version}-%{release}
But this doesn't make sure both upgrades happen on a biarch system.
This is all because RPM doesn't support:
Requires: elfutils-libs = %{version}-%{release}.%{arch}
or some syntax with the semantics that implies.
The only other way I know that might fix this is:
Provides: elfutils-libs-%{arch} = %{version}-%{release}
and:
Requires: elfutils-libs-%{arch} = %{version}-%{release}
But I have not tried this and the Conflicts: method is what I've been using
for a few releases.
Lines, give me guidance!
Thanks,
Roland
