That being said I don't think your obsoletes are correctly constructed as Micheal has indicated. You can dig into this mess several other ways. repoquery --whatprovides unison on f8 i get: unison227-0:2.27.57-7.fc8.2.i386 unison-0:2.13.16-3.fc6.i386 notice how unison213 is not in the list? repoquery --provides unison227 on f8 i get: unison = 2.27.57-7.fc8.2 unison227 = 2.27.57-7.fc8.2 repoquery --provides unison213 on f8 i get: unison213 = 2.13.16-9.fc8.2 notice how unison213 is not listed at providing 'unison' for even more fun,,, repoquery --whatobsoletes unison repoquery --obsoletes unison213 The aggressively versioned obsolete in unison213 is doing its job too well. I concur with Micheal as to the underlying problem here. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
