How exactly to use the tag "Obsoletes:" in a spec file ?
I need to offer texlive to users on Centos-5.6, so I packaged it (based on a Mandriva src.rpm), and that works.
But I want rpm to *replace* tetex by texlive, instead of just adding texlive, when users do a : $ yum install texlive (we have a local repo here).
So I added this line in texlive.spec : Obsoletes: tetex and of course I rebuilt the package, and (of course) that just don't work, despite tetex is listed among the Obsoleted packages : $ rpm -qp --obsoletes texlive-20110312-0phn.x86_64.rpm dvi2tty <= 5.3.1 jadetex kpathsea <= 20100722 kpathsea-devel <= 20100722 kpathsea-static-devel <= 20100722 pdfjam <= 1.21 ps2eps <= 1.64 tetex tetex-context tetex-devel tetex-dvipdfm tetex-dvips tetex-dvilj tetex-latex tetex-mfwin tetex-texi2html tetex-usrlocal tetex-xdvi etc... (tetex is the CentOS one : tetex-3.0-33.8.el5_5.6)
Can someone explain me why this fails, and eventually an other way to solve this problem ?
Thanks,
