In RHEL5 (probably also in Fedora), pidgin obsoletes "gaim < 999:1" (epoch 999 !!!). If someone can explain me why this is better than just obsoleting "gaim", please tell me. IMHO, this only makes sense if a "gaim >= 999:1" might ever exist. I don't think so :-). -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
