Old releases of Fedora Core No, because the conflict is now versionned, with the version corresponding to the latest openmotif shipped in fedora. So now it is possible to package newer openmotif-devel versions non conflicting with lesstif-devel, and there is abetter erroring for those who try to upgrade from older FC releases and have openmotif-devel installed. It is still bad, though, see below. > come with openmotif. Installs of FC <= 5 have openmotif installed. > Lesstif is an API-compatible replacement for Motif. Packages are rebuilt > against lesstif.

It will only break if lesstif-devel is installed. lesstif and openmotif packages do not conflict. I would like to avoid having lesstif-devel obsolete openmotif-devel, since it is not true, and I don't want to play bad with third party repo packaging newer openmotif versions. Maybe a versioned obsolete would be less problematic, but even that is dubious. If somebody has openmotif-devel installed and also a package depending on lesstif-devel there's trouble for upgrade path. Hrm. Maybe a versioned Obsolete, like Obsoletes: openmotif-devel <= 2.3.0-0.2.1 I really dislikes that, but there may not be another solution. -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
