Hello,
On a machine with CentOS-5.6, I need libvorbis >= 1.2, so I have
recompiled and packaged libvorbis.
But I get the following error :
$ rpm -U /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-devel-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm
package libvorbis-1.1.2-3.el5_4.4.x86_64 (which is newer than
libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64) is already installed
package libvorbis-devel-1.1.2-3.el5_4.4.x86_64 (which is newer than
libvorbis-devel-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64) is already installed
Who knows how to make rpm understand than 1.2.3 is newer than 1.1.2 ?
I have tried :
%define name libvorbis
Name: %{name}
Provides: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: %{name} < %{version}-%{release}
and the same thing for %{name}-devel, but without any success.
"Yum update" also fails, with the following error :
Examining /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm:
libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm: does not update
installed package.
Examining /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-devel-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm:

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvorbis-devel-1.2.3-phn.1.x86_64.rpm: does not
update installed package.
No Packages marked for Update
Can someone help me ?
Thanks,

Any pointer to some reading about spec files ? Thanks, -- Philippe

This command shows that libvorbis has an epoch of 1: [root at m4500 ~]# rpm -q --qf '%{epoch}\n' libvorbis 1 The default Epoch, if undefined, is (none) ... or 0. You need to set the epoch in your spec file to at least 1 to make it newer than the installed libvorbis.
