The above is the only way to do a "package split" ... which is to say you have: 1. pkgA-1 contains two files: /usr/bin/A and /usr/bin/A-blah 2. You now want to have pkgA-2 and pkgA-blah-2, which each contain a single file. 3. You want anyone who had pkgA-1 to have both pkgA-2 and pkgA-blah-2 (because that's what they had before). ...if at the end of the "split" you want "yum install pkgA" to install pkgA-blah (or vice versa), then it's not _just_ a split and you probably want to use a Requires (as you would if pkgA-2/pkgA-blah-2 were the first versions). You can do this instead of the obsoletes, but I don't see the point. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
