Hello.
Assume I have two "stacks" of RPM packages available:
postgresql16
provides postgresql-any version 16
conflicts with other postgresql-any
postgresql16-plugin
provides postgresql-any-plugin
requires postgresql16
conflicts with other postgresql-any-plugin
postgresql20
provides postgresql-any version 20
conflicts with other postgresql-any
postgresql20-plugin
provides postgresql-any-plugin
requires postgresql20
conflicts with other postgresql-any-plugin
On my system, I have postgresql16 and postgresql16-plugin installed and I want
to "upgrade" to postgresql20*.
Using my distribution package manager, I would want to run something like:
dnf swap postgresql16 postgresql20
However that will fail, as the package manager does not know I want to also
swap postgresql16-plugin with postgresql20-plugin.
Is there something I can do as a package maintainer to "guide" the co-dependent
swap case?
I was thinking something like:
postgresql20-plugin:
Obsoletes: (postgresql-any-plugin if postgresql-any != 20)
However that is not possible in RPM, "No rich dependencies allowed for this
type: Obsoletes".
Is there anything else?
Thanks,
