Difference in conflict resolving between yum and rpm installs

Hi Guys,

I am trying to test installation of a local rpm to my RHEL5 server. I am expecting it to fail as a previous version of the same package name exists. On using rpm -i this behaves as expected but yum install does not pick up the conflict. Here is the element of my SPEC file with the conflict logic -

Code:

Conflicts:    BCCAWAAE113v1_DEV <= 1-8, BCCAWAAE113v1_UAT <= 1-8, BCCAWAAE113v1_PRD <= 1-8
 
root@ldnpsr36282 PROD # rpm -qa | grep -i cawaae
BCCAWAAE113v1_DEV-1-8
root@ldnpsr36282 PROD # rpm -i BCCAWAAE113v1_DEV-1-9.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        BCCAWAAE113v1_DEV <= 1-8 conflicts with BCCAWAAE113v1_DEV-1-9.noarch

Is this ok [y/N]:

Any ideas why yum install works? This is what our platform team use to deploy. I am expecting a failed dependency. Is it something to do with me trying to install the rpm locally? I have been going round in circles with this and just can't work out why they are behaving differently.

Thanks.
G.
