Both of the cases are also described on yum wiki page: a) http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumPackageUpdates#PackagesplitintwoApplicationandnewlibraries b) http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumPackageUpdates#Generalcase >> I would personally prefer (a), but (b) should also work. grub2 is >> already obsoleting grub, and if grub-efi was made to _also_ obsolete >> grub, then yum should install _both_ grub2 and grub-efi on upgrades. > > Yes - it's not that we necessarily intended to leave it that way, but I > wanted to give people a heads-up as the problem exists _now_. > > I think b) sounds closer to our goal here, if it does actually work that > way (I thought yum would just pick one of the obsoleting packages). As much as I know, yes: it installs all the packages that obsolete the old one. For the general case where you have pkgX-1.0-1 installed and want to get replacementY and replacementZ installed, this should work: # replacementY Obsoletes: pkgX < 1.0.0-2 # replacementZ Obsoletes: pkgX < 1.0.0-2 -- Hope this helps, Kalev -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
