It was designed for allowing downgrades and it has this functionality. So there is no such difference for the topic discussed. > I never heard any RPM developer describe rpm's ability to do > downgrades as part of its design (quite the opposite) nor did I see > it being described as such in any RPM guides. I just gave you a quote out of the "RPM guides" that explicitely does so that you trimmed in your reply. Didn't you read it? And wrt rpm developers stating that rpm does not support downgrades - since you don't want to check the archives/bugzilla, I challenge you to state that on rpm user/devel list. I'm sure you'll read some strong rectifying answers on that. ;) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
