what is the epoch of the 1.2.10-1 package? rpm -q --queryformat "%{EPOCH}\n" xmms 1 Looks like it must be the obsoletes. Upstream xmms obsoletes all versions of xmms-esd and xmms-gl, so it gets pulled in that way. Not sure off hand what the right thing to do in that case is, since leaving dangling obsoletes means broken systems in the standard case. Probabaly just need a check to make sure packages pulled in by obsoletes are newer than whats installed. I belive that shouldn't break any legitimate updates, and should work around cases like this. This bug is filed against RHEL 3, which is in maintenance phase. During the maintenance phase, only security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released for enterprise products. Since this bug does not meet that criteria, it is now being closed. For more information of the RHEL errata support policy, please visit: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ If you feel this bug is indeed mission critical, please contact your support representative. You may be asked to provide detailed information on how this bug is affecting you. |
