"Requires" range

[Paul]

Thanks for the quick reply, Florian! Unfortunately, neither of these work:

>Requires: java >= 1.6
>Conflicts: java >= 1.8

Error: foo conflicts with 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.51-1.b16.el6_7.x86_64
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

>Requires: java < 1.8
>Conflicts: java < 1.6

Error: Package: foo (bar)
            Requires: java < 1.8
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

>This has the disadvantage you cannot install java (depending of the

That would be OK.

>The brand new rpm 4.13 could use:
>Requires: (java = 1.6 or java = 1.7)

Sounds good, but I need to use the version that already comes with RHEL and CentOS. Thanks for your help.
