Description Robert Scheck 2006-06-23 13:40:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
Syslinux-devel package was merged back into the main package for 3.11-2, but
the -devel package isn't obsoleted, causing:

$ rpm -qa | grep syslinux
syslinux-devel-3.10-5.i386
syslinux-3.11-2.i386
$

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
syslinux-3.11-2

How reproducible:
Everytime after upgrade from 3.10-5 to 3.11-2

Actual results:
Syslinux doesn't obsolete syslinux-devel package

Expected results:
The following patch should resolve the issue:

Additional info:
Would be very nice, when bug #192854 (EasyFix) also could be resolved on the
next update.
Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2006-08-02 18:41:46 UTC 
This has to be fixed until FC6, especially when users are upgrading.
Comment 2 Jesse Keating 2006-08-22 14:21:52 UTC 
Added an obsoletes.  Built into rawhide.
