Yes, you'll need --noscripts at this point. Problem is that %octave_pkg_preun requires the package to define %octpkg which GraphicsLib does not do. I'll get a fix out shortly. Orion, Cool. Thanks... George... This problem came in with 1.42-1. But I don't know if it's okay to update older releases to 1.48. I'll leave that decision up to the GeographicLib maintainers. Orion, I tried to remove this pkg with "rpm --nodeps --noscripts -e octave-GeographicLib" and got error messages: error: "octave-GeographicLib" specifies multiple packages: octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch I'm not sure what to do now. Any thoughts? Rebuild the rpm db? Try again after that? Regards, George... Just remove the old one: rpm --nodeps --noscripts -e octave-GeographicLib-1.43-9.fc26.noarch Orion, The "old one" doesn't exist on this system. # rpm -qa | grep octave-Geographiclib octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch # rpm --nodeps --noscripts -e octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch error: "octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch" specifies multiple packages: octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch octave-GeographicLib-1.48-1.fc27.noarch How does one get two packages on one system with the same name? George... That's beyond my experience. Perhaps try rpm --rebuilddb? After that I think you'll need to find some rpm experts. Orion, I'll give that a try and report back here. After that, I'll file a bug report for this situation if it still exists. Thanks for your help, George... Orion, Rebuilding the rpm db did NOT affect this situation. George... Orion, Would you believe this command? dnf remove --duplicates FAILED as well. The yum version of this command threw a stack trace. Sigh... George...

I'll leave that decision up to the GeographicLib > maintainers. I read over the NEWS file, and it looks like there were some ABI changes between 1.42 and 1.48. I think it's best to leave the stable branches at 1.42 in light of the stable upgrade guidelines. I'll take care of adding %octpkg to f26, f25, and f24.
