Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2017-08-16 11:12:43 UTC

The inn package installs a set of man pages whose names are so generic that they may conflict with other fedora packages.  I'm running into one specific case:

  file /usr/share/man/man5/storage.conf.5.gz from install of skopeo-containers-0.1.23-2.git1bbd87f.fc25.x86_64 conflicts with file from package inn-2.6.1-3.fc25.x86_64

(skopeo* is a prereq of docker)

Would you consider renaming the inn man pages to have a prefix 'inn-FOO'?

Comment 1 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2017-09-08 16:25:32 UTC

Thanks for the report, Frank.

I can see storage.conf.5 was renamed in skopeo package already and it's not actually part of upstream documentation, just something added in the Fedora package. I forwarded this query to upstream mailing list as I'm reluctant to diverge from upstream on my own for little apparent reason.

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2017-09-18 21:02:40 UTC

INN upstream is not going to rename the manpage, but they are fine with us doing it downstream. However, since this has been renamed in skopeo already and the manpage is not part of skopeo upstream but a Fedora addition, I'm not going to diverge from INN upstream at this time. Feel free to reopen if there are some new arguments for renaming.
