I suppose doing a "yum update vim-minimal" first and then "yum install vim" fixes it. Shouldn't that be happening automatically? Same to me installing vim-X11.

Thank u James....it is working...correctly (In reply to James Slagle from comment #1) > I suppose doing a "yum update vim-minimal" first and then "yum install vim" > fixes it. Shouldn't that be happening automatically? It would if vim-common had an RPM Conflicts on vim-minimal, but it doesn't. Normally that is fine if vim-common and vim-minimal are the exact same version (the man page they are both installing will be identical so there is no file conflict and both packages can be installed simultaneously). The problem is when the versions don't match, which happens e.g. when starting from a fresh F20 install with no updates (or the cloud image). I think the proper fix is for vim-common to have: Conflicts: vim-minimal < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release} Yum should then at least figure out it has to remove vim-minimal (I didn't test this though). This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. |
