Hi folks, We have a set of packages built from a single .spec file, let's call them foo, foo-devel, foo-doc etc. We need to rename this package to avoid a clash with a later version of foo becoming available in the Fedora Extras repository. So, we are now building bar, bar-devel, bar-doc etc. from a modified .spec file. We use "Obsoletes: foo <= x.x.x" on each sub-package so that we can upgrade our package in the middle of a chain of dependencies. Packages dependent on foo have dependencies on libraries provided by foo (libfoo.so.26, say) and not explicitly on foo itself. The problem I've run into is that this doesn't work for the implicitly generated foo-debuginfo package. Although the revised .spec file does generate a bar-debuginfo package as expected, it doesn't obsolete the foo-debuginfo package. Is there a way to infiltrate an "Obsoletes:" line into the implicit debuginfo sub-package? Is there some other solution short of telling people to manually uninstall the -debuginfo package before upgrading? We're most concerned here with Fedora Core 5 and 6, if it matters (and presumably RHEL 5 when available). I'd prefer not to do anything that only works in those environments, though. -- Ian _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
