That might be a nice createrepo feature to add such conflicts.

That would only help you if you only have a single repository - which we
NEVER do b/c of fedora + updates + updates-testing.

It could take a list of repos that the created repo is depending on.
For fedora repos it would work, the order is fedora < updates <
updates-testing.

Yes, but that's not what I'm talking about. I mean the explicit
conflicts between current versions of packages. I.e. the thing that
makes the complexity exponential.

For example:
package A: depends on X
package B: conflicts with D
package C: provides X
package D: provides X

yum install A B fails here as it tries to install A B D. The solution
is to install A B C.


And you've tested that yum doesn't work in this case? Putting together a
unittest for it should be pretty straightforward.

I have, with yum-3.2.23-3.fc11. When the conflict is changed to C, it
works (install A B D) which suggests the conflict is not handled when
depsolving.

Fixing it so it works generally won't be easy, I have to warn you :).


we've had known broken unittests in the past that we've worked up to. :)
