I have a set of tools for upgrading my rpms that needs to solve the following problem
Problem description
Currently: rpm A-1-1 is installed.
rpm -Fvh B-1-2.rpm (rpm B's spec says Obsoletes: A)
Desired result: B-1-2 is now installed and A-1-1 is not.
I absolutely need to do a freshen of the rpm B. I can not do an upgrade for certain reasons. I know that upgrade would easily solve the above problem.
Is there any way I can do the above? Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks much
Mona
