Error: Transaction check error:
  file /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz from install of vim-common-2:8.0.983-1.fc26.x86_64 conflicts with file from package vim-minimal-2:8.0.662-1.fc26.x86_64

Expected results:
DNF should managed to resolve the conflict and install vim-enhanced.

Additional info:
Updating vim-minimal to the new version first (dnf update vim-minimal), and then retrying the installation works fine.

Previously #1329015 was filed for a much older version of Fedora, and the packages were deemed ok by the Fedora packager handling the ticket. I don't see how it could be a repository problem so I'm filing a bug on DNF because I think this is a resolution problem (as suggested in this ticket too).

Comment 1 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-08-31 12:50:14 UTC

Please can you try the following:

# dnf install $(dnf repoquery vim-enhanced vim-minimal --latest-limit 1 -q)


If this works that means that problem is in packaging. 

There should be in package spec of vim-minimal:
conflict: vim-enhanced < %{version}-%{release}

and similar in vim-enhanced

Hope that it helps, but the problem has to be fixed in vim therefore I changing component.

Comment 3 Marc Dequènes (Duck) 2017-09-11 15:38:22 UTC

Thanks Jaroslav Mracek, it works all fine. Hope the vim people will issue a fix.

Comment 4 Zdenek Dohnal 2017-09-11 16:01:52 UTC

Hi Marc,

I thought this behavior was outcome of old VIm bug in f25, but it seems it isn't. I'll update the package as Jarda suggested.
