You used -frontend= while there should be --frontend= I tried it (with the same version) and both rpmconf -a -fgvimdiff and rpmconf -a --frontend=gvimdiff works without problem and gvimdiff is started when I choose "M". While I will concede my erroneous use of "-frontend" the -ftype issue still remains:
$ man rpmconf
...
[ -ftype --frontend=type ]
...
-ftype, --frontend=type
Define which frontend should be used for merging. Valid options
are: vimdiff, gvimdiff, diffuse, kdiff3, meld and env. When set
to env, the command to use is taken from the environment vari‐
able $MERGE. The default is env.
...
$ rpmconf -ftype gvimdiff -a
usage: rpmconf [-h] [-a] [-c] [-d] [-D] [-f EDITOR] [-Z]
[-o [PACKAGE [PACKAGE ...]]] [-v]
rpmconf: error: unrecognized arguments: gvimdiff
So a manpage discrepancy at least.
Ahh. Type is placeholder. So it should be: rpmconf -fgvimdiff and man page should have: -f<type> so it is more clear.

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions M : merge configuration files Z : background this process to examine the situation S : skip this file The default action is to keep your current version. *** aliases (Y/I/N/O/D/M/Z/S) [default=N] ? Your choice: m ERROR:rpmconf:You did not selected any frontend for merge Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmconf-1.0.12-1.fc23.noarch How reproducible: 100%, even using -ftype argument Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pretty obvious I think Actual results: ERROR:rpmconf:You did not selected any frontend for merge Expected results: Should open gvimdiff to merge the files Additional info:
