The above reads more complicated than I think it is. I assume you have two problems: 1. When moving from foo-1.0 => foo-1.1 and baz-1.1, you have a package split ... this implies using versioned Obsoletes (<= 1.0) on bar from baz-something. 2. In baz-something-1.1 you have a normal requires on bar-1.1 ... so just add a versioned (>= 1.1) require. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
