Hello,
On a machine with CentOS-5.6, I need libvorbis >= 1.2, so I have recompiled and packaged libvorbis. But I get the following error :
$ rpm -U /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-devel-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm package libvorbis-1.1.2-3.el5_4.4.x86_64 (which is newer than libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64) is already installed package libvorbis-devel-1.1.2-3.el5_4.4.x86_64 (which is newer than libvorbis-devel-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64) is already installed
Who knows how to make rpm understand than 1.2.3 is newer than 1.1.2 ? I have tried : %define name libvorbis Name: %{name} Provides: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} Obsoletes: %{name} < %{version}-%{release} and the same thing for %{name}-devel, but without any success.
"Yum update" also fails, with the following error : Examining /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm: libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64 /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm: does not update installed package.

Can someone help me ?
CentOS, Red Hat and Fedora use an NEVR model (Name-Epoch-Version-Release) for version control.
This command shows that libvorbis has an epoch of 1:
[root@m4500 ~]# rpm -q --qf '%{epoch}\n' libvorbis 1
The default Epoch, if undefined, is (none) ... or 0.
You need to set the epoch in your spec file to at least 1 to make it newer than the installed libvorbis.
See this link to read about epoch:
