Wouldn't it better to just explicitly list the supported services in the ntpstat spec using a rich dependency, e.g. "Requires: (ntp or chrony)" ? > > If old ntp is installed, I think an upgrade should result in both new ntp > > and ntpstat installed. > Something like Enhances: ntpstat in ntp.spec? That does not seem to work. I created a testing repo with ntp which "enhances" ntpstat and also contains the new ntpstat package, but dnf seems to ignore it: # dnf update --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=local ... Upgrading: ntp x86_64 4.2.8p10-4.nontpstat.fc28 local 670 k ntpdate x86_64 4.2.8p10-4.nontpstat.fc28 local 85 k I tried adding "Obsoletes: ntp < 4.2.8p10-4" to ntpstat.spec, expecting ntp would be dropped without replacement as chrony is installed, but the result was the same as before. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
