Ha! Oops!

That's not ideal... I guess I need a better fix for that. Is there some file that both packages provide that we can use as a kind of early bail for this?
Comment 2 David Walser 2013-05-13 19:51:16 CEST
Not as far as rpm -qp --provides goes, no.  Actually, not in their files list in rpm -qlp either.  They just both have the syslog-daemon virtual provides.
Comment 3 Colin Guthrie 2013-05-13 20:01:52 CEST
I was actually meaning a file with the same name in the pkgs, but looking myself now it seems not... Not sure how best to handle this one! Could obviously put a dummy file in each and use that, but it seems a sucky solution. I wonder if I can just supply a list of pkgs that would suffice.

This is fixed with drakxtools-15.53-1.mga3
