Description Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2023-08-17 10:17:22 UTC

Running "dnf -y upgrade golang-github-imdario-mergo-devel" on an otherwise up to date F38 machine, I get

[...]
Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/imdario/mergo from install of compat-golang-github-imdario-mergo-devel-1.0.0-1.fc38.noarch conflicts with file from package golang-github-imdario-mergo-devel-0.3.13-3.fc38.noarch

This has been happening for about a few days now.

Escalating to "dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing golang-github-imdario-mergo-devel" produces the same result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "dnf upgrade" and confirm the "[y/N]" question or run "dnf -y upgrade".

Actual Results:  
Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/imdario/mergo from install of compat-golang-github-imdario-mergo-devel-1.0.0-1.fc38.noarch conflicts with file from package golang-github-imdario-mergo-devel-0.3.13-3.fc38.noarch



Expected Results:  
Successfull package upgrade

The golang-github-shirou-gopsutil-devel package has been producing the same kind of problems for a few days more.

Comment 1 Mikel Olasagasti Uranga 2023-08-21 10:59:14 UTC

-devel packages are used to build other packages, I don't expect anyone to have those installed on a system. Are you requiring them for something or were they installed in the past required by a package (which should not happen)?

Comment 2 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2023-08-30 18:54:08 UTC

Must have been pulled in by something which I have installed to build something.

Sometimes "fedpkg local" is the quickest way to build a package when looking for a build error, so local installs of "-devel" packages do make sense for some developers.

*** Bug 2237065 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Pablo Rodríguez 2023-09-07 16:11:15 UTC

Sorry, Mikel, but wouldn’t it be possible that golang-dario-mergo (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=37568) might try to replace this package (without having the proper tagging)?

Many thanks for your help.
