Currently I have the rpms for java development kit from openjdk. Package names are like so: # rpm -qa | grep openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5 I want to replace those with RPMS built from the Sun JDK, and those rpms have names like: java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm java-1.6.0-sun-alsa-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm java-1.6.0-sun-demo-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm java-1.6.0-sun-devel-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm java-1.6.0-sun-fonts-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm java-1.6.0-sun-jdbc-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm java-1.6.0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm java-1.6.0-sun-src-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm I built them following instructions on the jpackage website, they are intended to be consistent with Fedora/RedHat packaging. Those install along side the openjdk. I want the rpm install of java-1.6.0-sun to remove the java-1.6.0-openjdk package. I thought the SPEC option Obsoletes would get that. In my sun jdk spec file, the top 100 lines of which I paste in below. I've done something wrong, because when I install those with the usual "rpm -ivh java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.18-2.0.Centos54kups.i586.rpm" then the openjdk packages are not removed.
