So same Provides of some kind would then be needed in all UP/SMP/$foo variants which I think would eventually lead to the same problem. yum/rpmlib could be "smarter" when resolving dependency trees so that it'd prefer the one which results in the smallest number of _new_ packages installed if there are multiple choices, at least in some configured cases. There's (was?) the pkgpolicy functionality in yum, dunno if it has this already implemented. But I guess that'd be a partial solution anyway. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
