Description Lukas Ocilka 2007-03-09 15:19:15 UTC 
Requires:       yast2-core >= 2.8.0

should be written as

Conflicts:      yast2-core < 2.8.0

because this dependency is not direct

(See also bug #252983 - the second part)

Anyway, this doesn't seem to be needed anymore...

> because this dependency is not direct

What's the point? Why is the new way better? It isn't equivalent anyway.
Comment 2 Lukas Ocilka 2007-03-09 15:34:34 UTC 
Actually, this is the correct way how to express indirect dependency on some package which is not directly required.

Don't beat me but packagers :)
Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2007-03-09 15:36:51 UTC 
But the package is directly required (at least in what I do understand as requirement). Where is the source for your correct way definition?
Comment 4 Lukas Ocilka 2007-03-09 15:38:51 UTC 
yast2-core is required by yast2.rpm
Comment 5 Jiří Suchomel 2007-03-09 15:42:07 UTC 
I see. 
But I still don't see the benefit of the change.
Comment 6 Lukas Ocilka 2007-03-09 15:44:29 UTC 
Well, the benefit is to make dependencies clearer ...
Additionally, 'yast2-core < 2.8.0' doesn't make sense for 10.3
Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2007-03-29 09:29:19 UTC 
OK, I will use the Conflicts tag.
