debuginfo/debugsource packages don't copy Conflicts: et al directives
Last modified: 2011-07-25 08:27:17 UTC
When upgrading along with renaming, the old package actually conflicts with the new one. But the rpm can't upgrade debuginfo/debugsource packages because the two contain the same files, e.g.: file /usr/lib/debug/usr/sbin/meatclient.debug from install of cluster-glue-debuginfo-1.0.2-0rc2a.i586 conflicts with file from package heartbeat-common-debuginfo-3.0.0-1.i586 Should the build service copy Provides/Obsoletes/Conflicts from the spec file when creating debugsource/debuginfo packages?
Nope. debuginfo packages need separate handling - any automatic copying of dependencies is broken.
