my apologies, for my error in posting to this last night.
so lets say we have the following packages name{provides,provides}:req,req.
foo-3.00-0{/lib/foo.so,/lib/foo.so.3.00}
FooByNewName-4.00-0{/lib/foo.so,/lib/foo.so.4.00}
packageX-1-0{}:/lib/foo.so.3.00
FooByNewNameCompat-4.00-0{/lib/foo.so.3.00}:FooByNewName=4.00
rpm -qa
foo-3.00-0
packageX-1-0
rpm -q --whatrequires foo.so
no package requires foo.so
rpm -q --whatrequires foo.so.3.00
packageX-1-0
what is the PROPER way to do
rpm -U FooByNewName-4.00-0.rpm FooByNewName-4.00-0.rpm
PROPER means no --force --nodeps, etc... and reinstalling packageX would
not be an option.
The best I have come up with is making an faux rpm named foo which
obsoletes foo-3.00-0 but provides nothing.
