So foobar-1.0-1fc11 with a line: Obsoletes: oldfoo will obsolete oldfoo-2.0-1fc11, or oldfoo-1.0-15fc11, or oldfoo- *anything*. That's why obsoletes ought to be versioned (something like Obsoletes: oldfoo < 1.0-1), so that they don't come back to bite you in future - for instance, if the name changes back. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
