I didn't check the previous package of amcheck_next10-1.3-1.rhel7.x86_64
of before march 1st, sorry for that.

But a while ago I filed a bug report for yum and used one of your
packages (libgeotiff) as example:

If we replace an existing package we get this message. Not by adding a
newer version of it.

Below is a little poc. I'm using dnf (Fedora) but its behaviour doesn't
differ from yum in this case.


Kind regards,
