How to pretend an update

["Gordian, Martin" <martin gordian siemens com>]

Hello *,

 

unfortunately the rpm-packagenames of my software have changed.

I'm using "Obsoletes:" to get the old packages out of the rpm-db.

 

When I'm installaing the version where the packagenames changes the old ones disappear but rpm acts like it is a new installation and not like it is an update.

 

Is there a possibility to force rpm to assume that this installationcase is an pdate?
