Hi,

My rpm requires that a certain package will not be installed in order to install it. How can I do that?


There are basically two ways:

1) Add a Conflicts:
This causes any install with your package to fail if other pkgs is currently installed.

2) Add an Obsoletes:
	The other package will be removed if installed.

Option 2) is often easier and smoother (if appropriate for your needs).
