Why were there both versions of the krb5-server package in the repos in the first place? What problems occured? > > If what's in the spec file is not the correct way to accomplish that, > > what is? I am unable to find documentation for any of this. I'd add something like this: %ifarch x86_64 Obsoletes: krb5-server <= last version that caused issues %endif so that this doesn't end up in all arches. If I understand correctly, this affects only x86_64 due to it being multilib.
