Description Jason Tibbitts 2006-02-10 19:15:18 UTC 
I'm not sure how to handle this.  I'm trying to build the heartbeat package in
mock, but it BuildRequires: both libnet10 and libnet-devel, which can't both be
installed:

Comment 1 Michael Schwendt 2006-02-11 12:58:09 UTC 
First of all, this is a packaging bug in "heartbeat".
It must not BuildRequire both libnet10 and libnet-devel.

Secondly, we removed/obsoleted libnet10 some time last year, because
it is not needed anymore and is packaged incorrectly. Despite the
package name, it cannot coexist with libnet/libnet-devel, because it
stores files in the same locations. This was due to an exception in the
packaging policies at fedora.us, where the clean buildroots permitted
mutually exclusive build requirements. At Fedora Extras, conflicts are
not allowed. It is not worth relocating the files either because the
package is not needed. For ordinary upgrades, libnet and libnet-devel
upgrade libnet10 (see the versioned Provides in the package). If,
however, you tell yum you want both, this either leads to problems in
the transaction check or during installation (files from one package
overwrite files from the other package). libnet10 should just go.
Comment 2 Patrice Dumas 2006-02-11 16:04:54 UTC 
heartbeat can use the new api.

I still think that we can keep that package with the conflict with newer libnet
such that users can use libnet10 if they really need to.
