Given a single SRPM generating multiple sub-RPMs, some of which depend

matching versions of the sub-RPMs are installed?

If you fear that mismatched subpackages may not work well together,
I'd have them all conflict with versions < exact same build. What
you're trying to describe is a conflict. Any sane repository will
always have subpackages at the same build level, and not self-conflict
(that's the main reason we ask people to avoid conflicts today; it
wouldn't apply in your case).


Ugh, no no no, thats just ugly for no good reason, just add a Requires to the full version of the base package, or the sub-package that the sub-package needs.
