Description Benjamin Smedberg 2007-10-17 21:13:22 UTC
Description of problem:
The fontconfig-devel.i386 and fontconfig-devel.x86_64 packages cannot be
installed at the same time because they ship the arch-independent file
/usr/share/doc/fontconfig-devel-2.4.2/fontconfig-devel.txt

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC7

How reproducible:
yum install fontconfig-devel.x86_64
yum install fontconfig-devel.i386

Actual results:
Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-devel-2.4.2/fontconfig-devel.txt from install
of fontconfig-devel-2.4.2-3.fc7 conflicts with file from package
fontconfig-devel-2.4.2-3.fc7

Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-10-18 05:39:12 UTC
looks like more a tools problem than a package one

Comment 2 Benjamin Smedberg 2007-10-18 14:23:40 UTC
well... yum is doing the correct thing I think; the arch-specific packages
shouldn't have arch-indepent files in them

Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-10-22 20:43:01 UTC
What's happening basically is that if two arch packages want to install the same
file, the files should be identical.  That works fine for doc files, except that
if they are generated as part of the build and have a timestamp or something you
are doomed... Fixed this in rhel4 and rhel5.  The fix is to not rebuild docs...
