I hope that's what you meant as desirable in the above, I'm having a bit of a problem parsing it. Dropping the Provides would mean that if something had a depdendency on codeina, that dep would be broken, and that pk-gstreamer-plugin couldn't be installed with "yum install codeina". I don't think it'd have any effect on whether pk-gstreamer-plugin would/wouldn't be applied as an upgrade over installed codeina e.g. by yum (assuming the Obsoletes is left there). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
