The Provides satisfies any dependancies on the old name, but you're missing an Obsoletes to tell RPM the upgrade path. Trying to installing the new python2-libvirt RPM on an existing system fails because it clashes with libvirt-python. A further flaw in your script is that its changed libvirt-python to python2-libvirt, but not changed libvirt-python3 to python3-libvirt, so the naming inconsistency is worse than before your proposed change. Also the %_description stuff is just ugly Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
