N.B. Despite the fc24 in its release, EMBOSS is still in the Fedora 25 release. It just wasn't rebuilt since 24. I think renaming in an arbitrary way would be a bad choice, since users rely on upstream command names. Following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Binary_Name_Conflicts I'm going to write an email to ask upstream to use a less generic command name. I also add in CC to this bug EMBOSS maintainer, because we must advise also EMBOSS upstream to use less generic names (I see a lot of generic command names are present in EMBOSS). As last chance I will discuss on distributions-list[at]freedesktop.org how to rename that command. I've renamed "remap" to "em_remap" in EMBOSS in rawhide. I've requested wcstools upstream to rename that binary, but I've received no reply. I'm renaming "remap" to "wcsremap" in rawhide. I see that Debian guys use the same name. |
Description of problem: wcstools has a program remap, which name is unfortunately already taken by another scientific program package, EMBOSS, for molecular biology. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wcstools-3.9.5-1.fc25.x86_64 & EMBOSS-6.6.0-3.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: easily Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install EMBOSS 2. dnf install wcstools Actual results: Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/bin/remap from install of wcstools-3.9.5-1.fc25.x86_64 conflicts with file from package EMBOSS-6.6.0-3.fc24.x86_64 Expected results: clean installation Additional info: I've kept my own copy of wcstools in my semi-private repository for a while now, and my spec file includes this line in %install for just this reason: %{__mv} %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/remap %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/wcsremap Other ways of renaming it are possible, of course.
