[packman] How to upgrade XBMC to Kodi

[Sagi Ben-Akiva]

Hi,

I added the following lines to kodi.spec file :
Obsoletes:    xbmc < 14.0
Provides:    xbmc = 14.0

but when trying to install the package I get the following error message :

# zypper in kodi-14.0-50.1
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following NEW package is going to be installed:
  kodi

The following package is going to be REMOVED:
  xbmc

1 new package to install, 1 to remove.
Overall download size: 29.4 MiB. After the operation, additional 20.3 MiB
will be used.
