Hello,

did somebody meat problem with obsoletes field?
I try to update one package, which have a new name. The problem is that old package still there after installing new one…

Obsoletes:      old_name 

As I understand, new package have to replace old one in this case.

Thank you,
Alex

Hi
I imagine Conflicts is needed instead(maybe as well as)… Else try
adding a version number.

Yes, right. It needs just to add a version number and… problem solved.

Obsoletes:      old_name < %{version}

Thank you.
