@ -94,6 +94,23 @@ no installed packages will have their dependency conditions break due to
the packages being removed. If you wish to turn off dependency checking for
a particular command, use the --nodeps flag.
Conflicts
---------
While conflicts were implemented in earlier versions of RPM they never
worked properly until RPM 2.3.4 (well, we hope they work properly now
anyway).
Conflicts allow a package to say it won't work with another package (or
virtual package) installed on the system. For example, qmail doesn't work
(w/o custom setup) on machines with sendmail installed. The qmail spec file
may codify this with a line like:
Conflicts: sendmail
The syntax of the "Conflicts" tag is identical to the syntax of the Requires
tag and conflict checking may be overridden by using the --nodeps flag.
