This bug hit bugzilla today: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430413
the issue is that faad2 and faad2-libs both provide the same item and since all else is equal yum was choosing faad2 b/c the name is shorter. So this patch http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/patches/yum-rule-out-provides-by-being-obsoletes.patch ads an obsolete check for 'best package' If a package in the list of possible providers obsoletes another one of the packages in the list then the obsoleted package can't 'win' the bestpackage check. I think I've implemented it in the right place for the case but this code gets pretty stringy in places and I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something else. Can someone check behind me? -sv -- I only speak for me. _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
