Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/bin/pkg-config conflicts between attempted installs of pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-2.fc33.i686 and pkgconf-pkg-config-1.7.3-2.fc33.x86_64



Expected results:
Successful installation.

Additional info:
I am not sure libpng should require pkg-config with architecture. Conflict in /usr/bin is understandable. One pkg-config should be enough on mixed architectures.

If you think this is problem of pkgconf-pkg-config, please move the bug.

Comment 1 Nikola Forró 2020-11-02 13:50:47 UTC

It seems this used to be part of packaging guidelines:
> Explicit Requires for architecture specific packages should specify %{?_isa} as part of the Requires.

But I don't think it makes sense, at least not in case of pkgconfig.

Comment 2 Petr Menšík 2020-11-02 14:17:56 UTC

I think that makes sense for any libraries, where platform must match. But for binary utility, it should not matter, as long as alternative architecture is able to supply useful information. I think that is the case of pkg-config.
