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 -
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.
