--- Comment #17 from Michael Schwendt <bugs.michael(a)gmx.net> ---
This did not work [...]
So-called "self-Obsoletes" do work, because the same package still Provides
what it Obsoletes.
Self-Obsoletes sometimes are used to replace multiple packages (of no specific
arch) with a single new package.
Provides: libqore5 = 0.8.11
Obsoletes: libqore5 < 0.8.12
Anything that "Requires: libqore5 <= 0.8.11" would still have worked,
because
it is still provided.
Provides: libqore5 = %{version}
Obsoletes: libqore5 < %{version}
This is cleaner, of course. Though, typically one hardcodes a specific maximum
version-release in the Obsoletes tag to be really accurate and not obsolete
more than necessary (e.g. if %version increments, the Obsoletes tag would
adjust and also obsolete newer versions than what had been specified
originally).
