I'm being a bit dense, I think. Where does this patch end up checking all the file provides? It looks like it only every checks simpleFiles() which is only ever from primary. Is there more to this that I'm missing b/c it seems like we're dropping all of the other files from the provides search in the depsolve? -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
