Description of problem:
# urpmi lib64qwt6
installing lib64qwt6-6.0.1-4.mga3.x86_64.rpm from /var/cache/urpmi/rpms

lib64qwt5-5.2.2-4.mga3.x86_64

/usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/designer/libqwt_designer_plugin.so should probably not be in either package.

A test build with this file excluded allows both to be installed together. Just the one file is involved.

Source RPM: libqwt => libqwt5

Comment 1 José Jorge 2012-11-21 17:39:58 CET 
/usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/designer/libqwt_designer_plugin.so was removed from libqwt5

It is still in libqwt as it is used by developpers AFAIK.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 2 Barry Jackson 2012-11-21 23:42:30 CET 
There is still a problem:

[baz@jackodesktop ~]$ urpmq --provides libqwt-devel
libqwt-devel[== 6.0.1-4.mga3]
libqwt-devel[== 6.0.1-4.mga3]
libqwt-devel(x86-32)[== 6.0.1-4.mga3]
pkgconfig(qwt)[== 6.0.1]
devel(libqwt)                                      <=#############
devel(libqwtmathml)
[baz@jackodesktop ~]$ urpmq --provides libqwt5-devel
libqwt5-devel[== 5.2.2-5.mga3]
libqwt5-devel[== 5.2.2-5.mga3]
libqwt5-devel(x86-32)[== 5.2.2-5.mga3]
devel(libqwt)                                      <=#############

gnuradio built against libqwt5-devel is requiring libqwt.so.5()(64bit) 

However it's -devel sub packages are requiring devel(libqwt(64bit)) which is resolving to libqwt-devel which is pulling in the 6 major version due to the ambiguity above.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

How can it be? You removed it.

I think this is the good way to managed versioned libs. Just look at how libpng12-devel and libpng-devel are packaged.
