[SOLVED] Package mesa-filesystem backward compatibility

Issue

The software that I am installing requires mesa-dri-filesytem: This is the screenshot of the installer. I don't want to touch the file. like changing mesa-dri-filesystem to mesa-filesystem screenshot!

but I am currently using Cento OS 7 which finds the package absolute: screenshot

I am installing it to an offline server, so yum install won't work, I'm just getting the RPM then doing rpm -ivh [package-name]

Please help me with this


Solution

You are getting this error because you have already installed on your system package mesa-filesystem-18.0.5 which obsolete (i.e. replace, supersede) the package mesa-dri-filesystem < 18.0.5. You are trying to install mesa-dri-filesystem-11.0.7 and because 11.0.7 < 18.0.6 then rpm correctly refuse the action as mesa-filesystem.

But the mesa-filesystem at the same time provides mesa-dri-filesystem, e.g., on my system:

# rpm -q --provides mesa-filesystem
mesa-dri-filesystem = 19.0.8-1.fc30
mesa-filesystem = 19.0.8-1.fc30

So if your package requires mesa-dri-filesystem then your requiremens are fulfiled even when mesa-filesystem is installed.
