One rpm .spec file was developed long time ago and the %pre section of it was used to check if a previous major version of this software is already installed or not. And it did work before. I saw it personally. In the rpm 4.8 (rhel 6.5-6.7), this does not work anymore. During installation the rpm installer does not reach (or ignore?) the %pre section and complains that "file ... from install of our-software-23.01.el6.i386 conflicts with file from package our-software-22.07.el6.i386" and then the installation aborts. I have posted the same question also on the unix.stackexchange.com: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254883/pre-section-of-my-rpm-is-no-longer-executed-on-rhel-6-7 Is there a way to make it work or the check is supposed be done different? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you in advance. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
