Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2018-09-04 07:43:29 UTC 
George, thanks for the report. This is a python-jedi bug.
Comment 2 Carl George 🤠 2018-09-04 14:46:25 UTC 
The spec file currently contains this macro:

    %global _docdir_fmt %{name}

That causes all subpackages to share the same documentation directory.  The benefit of that is that python2-jedi and python3-jedi share the AUTHORS.txt and CHANGELOG.rst files, avoiding duplication.  The drawback is what you observed, which is conflict errors if those files have changed in an update and you aren't updating the packages at the same time.

This only happens if you try to update just one of the packages.  If you update them both at the same time it works.  Do that to fix it for now, and I'll get the spec file updated to remove that macro to prevent this error from being possible.

Carl,

Thanks for this information. I've been upgrading separately due to the prevalence of this kind of problem with other packages. Sigh...

Thanks again,

George...
