This makes sense but the reason the libnfsidmap-devel package is not be upgraded (or installed) is because: dnf install /tmp/libnfsidmap-devel* Last metadata expiration check: 0:10:48 ago on Fri 27 Oct 2017 11:19:35 AM EDT. Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides libnfsidmap = 2.2.1-0.fc28 needed by libnfsidmap-devel-1:2.2.1-0.fc28.x86_64 even though libnfsidmap-2.2.1-0 is installed. The problem is caused by the Requires: in the libnfsidmap-devel subpackage %package -n libnfsidmap-devel Summary: Development files for the libnfsidmap library Group: Development/Libraries Requires: pkgconfig Requires: libnfsidmap = %{version}-%{release} ^^^^^^^^^^^ Now if I remove the '%{version}-%{release}' the package is installed/upgraded... but seems wrong to me the -devel should be tied to a particular version, right? Plus this was the way it was in the original libnfsidmap rpm. tia, steved. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
