Hi! I have a very puzzling problem : one rpm with version 1.2.5 and one with 1.3.1 (spec file does not have Epoch defined)
trying to install i get this : [root@storage02 aliprod]# rpm -Uvh xrootd-alicetokenacc-1.3.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package xrootd-alicetokenacc-1:1.2.5-1.el6.x86_64 (which is newer than xrootd-alicetokenacc-1.3.1-1.el6.x86_64) is already installed
the rpm information : rpm -qi xrootd-alicetokenacc Name : xrootd-alicetokenacc Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.2.5 Vendor: (none) Release : 1.el6 Build Date: Wed 17 Jun 2015 02:25:13 AM EEST Install Date: Mon 22 Jun 2015 01:12:34 PM EEST Build Host: issaf.spacescience.ro Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: xrootd-alicetokenacc-1.2.5-1.el6.src.rpm Size : 1125309 License: none Signature : (none) Summary : Alice Token Authorization Acc plugin Description : An authorization plugin for xrootd using the Alice Token authorization envelope.
and rpm -qip xrootd-alicetokenacc-1.3.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm Name : xrootd-alicetokenacc Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.3.1 Vendor: (none) Release : 1.el6 Build Date: Wed 23 May 2018 12:31:05 AM EEST Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: el6build Group : CERN IT-ST Source RPM: xrootd-alicetokenacc-1.3.1-1.el6.src.rpm Size : 1373710 License: none Signature : (none) Summary : Alice Token Authorization Acc plugin Description : An authorization plugin for xrootd using the Alice Token authorization envelope.
any idea why this could happen? AFAIK the solution would be the introduction of "Epoch: 1" but i seen that this is usually acceptable only as last resort..
So, any ideas about this problem? Thank you!! Adrian

Yeah, "has epoch" is always newer than "doesn't have epoch". You can see from the "1:" in 1:1.2.5 that that package *does* have Epoch defined.

Looks like you're *already* in that state. I guess you can think of this as an example of why it's a last resort, because once done once, you're stuck. But now, there you are.

well, this is what is really puzzling : it it the same spec file without any epoch defined.. difference being that first one was build in 2015 on el6 and the last one was built now on up to date el6 ...

yeah, i will add the epoch to the spec file ... very puzzling why it is there though..
Thanks! Adrian
