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

error: Failed dependencies:

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.

applydeltarpm

APPLYDELTARPM(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  APPLYDELTARPM(8)

NAME

       applydeltarpm - reconstruct an rpm from a deltarpm

SYNOPSIS

       applydeltarpm [-v] [-p] [-r oldrpm] deltarpm newrpm
       applydeltarpm -c|-C deltarpm
       applydeltarpm [-c|-C] -s sequence
       applydeltarpm -i deltarpm

DESCRIPTION

       applydeltarpm  applies a binary delta to either an old rpm or to on-disk data to re-create a new rpm. The old rpm can be specified with the
       -r option, if no rpm name is provided on-disk data is used. You can use -p to make applydeltarpm print the percentage of completion, or	-v
       to make it more verbose about its operation.

       The second an third form can be used to check if the reconstruction is possible. It may fail if the on-disk data got changed (deltarpms are
       created in a way that config file changes do not matter) or the deltarpm does not match the rpm the delta was generated with. The -c option
       selects full (i.e. slow) on-disk checking, whereas -C only checks if the filesizes have not changed.

       Instead	of  a full deltarpm a sequence id can be given with the -s sequence option. Such an id contains all the information that is needed
       to do reconstruction checking.

       Finally information about a deltarpm can be printed with the -i option.

EXIT STATUS

       applydeltarpm returns 0 if the rpm could be recreated or the checking succeeded, it returns 1 and prints an  error  message  to	stderr	if
       something failed.
