Description Martin Cermak 2020-01-07 13:32:11 UTC
There is a tiny packaging problem in systemtap-devel-4.2-1.el8.i686 and systemtap-devel-4.2-1.el8.x86_64.  When one (or TPS) tries to install all the subrpms we ship via erratum, the transaction fails with:

=======
Error: Transaction check error:
  file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/systemtap-mode.elc conflicts between attempted installs of systemtap-devel-4.2-1.el8.i686 and systemtap-devel-4.2-1.el8.x86_64
=======

This is not a serious problem.  But for the sake of smooth installability, I propose to fix this in the future along with some more important update.

Comment 1 Frank Ch. Eigler 2020-01-07 13:58:56 UTC
As systemtap-devel is not intended to be multilib/multi-arch installable (unlike ordinary -devel subrpms), this test seems artificial / unnecessary.

Comment 2 Frank Ch. Eigler 2020-01-10 18:45:29 UTC
Will ditch generating the conflicting .elc file, like subversion does.
