<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">What happend:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
I'm now working on a linux side-by-side installation issue since rpm no longer support to install the 32-bit and 64-bit same name packages on a machine at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">So I need to change the name of the 32-bit package from xxx.i386.rpm to xxx-32bit.i386.rpm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">For supporting the upgrade of this package, I should provide the old package name: xxx in the spec file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">Problem:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
I've looked into the pages of rpm.org looking for whether we can specify the version which we provided in the spec file like:<br>
<br>
%Provides: xxx = 16.0<br>
<br>
I've done some test and it seems to work. But I can't find any offical explanation.<br>
So do you know the properly behaviour if I specified the provides package version in the Provides.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
