Is it valid to use 2 requires of the same dependency for min / max
versions?  For example, I have a package "foo" that depends on package
"bar" >= 1.0 and also "bar" < 2.0.

I have seen many packages use this:
Requires: bar >= 1.0
Conflicts: bar >= 2.0

but I would like to use the following (which may help with finding
dependencies using repoquery):
Requires: bar >= 1.0
Requires: bar < 2.0
That will almost certainly *not* do what you intend, as a system with a
package providing bar 0.9 and another providing bar 3.0 will satisfy
your
rules.
And that is no true. Try it. YUM can handle it as expected.
so it's ok if it fails in rpm but works in yum? (just asking)


For me it is OK and for 99,9 % of Fedora users, who installs packages using YUM, it is OK as well, I would say.
