I think the issue here is just that the syntax is wrong. Instead of what's right now, Obsoletes: krb5-server-1.11.3-49.el7.i686 it should be: Obsoletes: krb5-server <= 1.11.3-49.el7.i686 ... or something along those lines. Right now the problem is that dnf considers the whole string "krb5-server-1.11.3-49.el7.i686" to be a package name while the package name is really "krb5-server". This makes the obsoletes just plain not do anything right now since they don't match any package name. -- Kalev -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
