All sorts of stuff. Check the yum source code. For starters the other things mentioned already:, epochs, and the fact that all packages are considered to be providing all files they contain, even with dependencies. But consider this too: RPM's notion of version comparison is a bit unintuitive when it comes to mixing letters and numbers -- is 1.2b3 greater or less than 1.20? What about 1.2.0? And for that matter, is 1.9 higher than 1.10? -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
