Hello,
My system is a fedora devel, but I also tested on fc5 and fc6.
I have 2 packages, libnet and libnet10 (both in fedora extras), for
libnet10, I have:
Name: libnet10
Version: 1.0.2a
Release: 11%{?dist}
Obsoletes: libnet < 1.1.0
Obsoletes: libnet-devel < 1.1.0
Provides: libnet = %{version}-%{release}
Provides: libnet-devel = %{version}-%{release}
For libnet I have an empty libnet package, and everything is in
libnet-devel (which provides libnet):
Name: libnet
Version: 1.1.2.1
Release: 9%{?dist}
%package devel
Provides: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
Now if I do a
yum install libnet
libnet10 is chosen, while chosing libnet-devel would have seemed more
appropriate to me, since libnet10 provides 1.0.2a-11 while libnet-devel
provides libnet 1.1.2.1-9. Is it a feature or a bug? In case it is not a bug
what is the correct way to handle my case?
