Description Need Real Name 2002-02-04 08:56:04 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461)

Description of problem:
gnome-libs and gnome-libs-devel conflict with db1 
package, /usr/bin/db1_dump185, /usr/lib/libdb1.so.2 and /usr/lib/libdb1.a

Surely db1 should either be required, or superceded, or the conflicting files 
should have different names if they are special to that gnome-libs build.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try and install gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-9 and gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.2.90-9 on 
a system with db1 installed
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Fails of course with rpm conflict reported

Expected Results:  Should have succeeded

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-02-04 16:05:50 UTC 
I was advised not to Obsoletes: db1 for now, I'm not sure of the rationale.

The files can't be renamed since that would change the libgnomeui ABI.
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-02-05 15:35:05 UTC 
What about the ABI of things using db1 if we force the install, or lets compare 
breaking the abi to not being able to install it at all.

It's a rawhide build, lets break the abi of libgnomeui and stick a few >= in 
the requires lines.

If I haven't grasped something, please let me know.
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-02-05 16:39:54 UTC 
Yes, we can't break the ABI. It being rawhide isn't relevant, rawhide gets
released eventually.

You shouldn't need the db1 package, is the idea. i.e. remove it.

In that case can we at least have "Conflicts: db1" in the spec files.
