Also the serial number of the package (rpm -q --qf '%{SERIAL}\n' is 2000. So I could replace the original dependency line of "j2sdk = 1.4.2_05" with "j2sdk =S 2000" but would that work with yum?
j2sdk = 2000:1.4.2_05
If I want to go the epoch route how do I deal with this in the dependency spec? The Max-RPM book (in pdf) format doesn't really discuss epoch (at least a search for "epoch" turns up no hits, which is wierd because I know the concept and I am sure I got it from one of my 2 reads through the book).
Serial is the deprecated term for Epoch. -frank _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
