This is not a valid set of rpms for "my-package". It is a valid set of rpm files for _two_ packages, one named "my-package-2014-05-05" and the other named "my-package-2014-05-06". In a more generic sense, you can't have an rpm with a '-' in the version or release. Modern versions of rpmbuild will now enforce this in provides/requires/conflicts/etc. I thought all versions of rpmbuild would enforce that for Version/Release though. Assuming you have created those rpms somehow, if you change the '-' to '_' or '.' ... it should behave how you expect. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
