Yeah, that hack looks like it could work, sorta. If you have multiple
subpackages installed, having only one subpackage of the correct version and
the others of wrong versions will still be satisfying the dependency in the
-debuginfo package. (And subpackages do not always require each other, so
you cannot always require on the EVR-locked inter-subpackage Requires.)

Right. Otherwise, I guess the Conflicts approach suggested by Nicolas
could work and also handle such cases? But before all this, there is the
current problem that debuginfo packages are only updated when using yum,
as pointed out by Michael. If debuginfo packages are not shipped in the
standard repos, some other solution is needed. I pointed out an approach
which could work:
- Move the debuginfo repo definitions to separate files
- Have a package fedora-release-debug (or similar) install the repo file
in /etc/yum.repos.d. The repos would be enabled by default when installed.
- Have all debuginfo packages depend on fedora-release-debug
- (ugly) Have debuginfo-install install the repo file before proceeding
as before.
Any thoughts on that?
