Probably you have found a bug.
See below:
rpm -Uvh A-1.0-1.noarch.rpm B-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
1:A ########################################### [
50%]
2:B ###########################################
[100%]
Now B-2.0-1 depends on A = 2.0 but
rpm -Uvh A-2.0-1.noarch.rpm B-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
error: %pre(A-2.0-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping A-2.0-1
1:B ########################################### [
50%]
[1]+ Exit 2 rpm -Uvh A-2.0-1.noarch.rpm B-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -qR B
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
A = 2.0
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rpm -q --qf '%{VERSION}\n' A
1.0
The possible workround (an hackery for that matter : adding a %pre to B on
the right version on A) is worse:
rpm -Uvh A-2.0-1.noarch.rpm B-2.0-1_workround.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
error: %pre(A-2.0-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping A-2.0-1
error: %pre(B-2.0-1_workround.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping B-2.0-1_workround
But
rpm -qi A
package A is not installed
YEP!
Sorry, i don't know how to help you. My workround was - my - last resort.
For who is interested, all the reproducer are here :
