Description stan 2021-07-01 15:46:01 UTC

Description of problem:
There is a naming problem in lapack for man pages MIN and MAX because the conflict with existing man pages in the man-pages package.  Maybe they need to be renamed?  lapack-MIN and lapack-MAX?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.9.1-1.fc35.x86_64

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Have the man-pages package installed
2.  Try to install the lapack package
3.

Actual results:
Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/share/man/man3/MAX.3.gz from install of lapack-3.9.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package man-pages-5.12-1.fc35.noarch
  file /usr/share/man/man3/MIN.3.gz from install of lapack-3.9.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package man-pages-5.12-1.fc35.noarch

Expected results:
successful install

Bug 1980579 was filed about the same issue but against man-pages. A lapack update to 3.10.0-1.fc35 continues to provide manpages in question and bumps into the same conflict.

Comment 2 Nikola Forró 2021-07-09 12:10:31 UTC

Since these two man pages from lapack are in fact links to lapacke_utils.h.3, simply renaming the files would be sufficient to avoid the conflict. Another possible solution would be to introduce a section called for example "3l" exclusively for lapack man pages. What do you think, Tom?

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2021-07-09 18:39:08 UTC

Should be fixed in -2. Sorry for the delay.
