Description Alexandre Oliva 2008-12-06 20:09:05 UTC

Description of problem:
If you select alsa-lib-devel.x86_64 and alsa-lib-devel.i386 in a kickstart file (say, because you want them installed so that gcc's libjava multilibs won't fail quite late in the build), you get an error about file conflicts.

The only way to install both multilibs of alsa-lib-devel (that *are* in the x86_64 install media) is to pass --replacefiles to rpm, post installation.  Installing everything doesn't work, because anaconda doesn't do that.  In fact, it only reports an error long after having formatted the root and boot filesystem, and you can't go back and adjust the package selections in a kickstart install.

Anyhow, it's pretty important to be able to install both packages without conflicts for development of gcc, so if you could please arrange for this conflict to be avoided (say, by moving the conflicting files to a separate packages that does not require multilibs), that would be great.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.18-6.rc3.fc10

How reproducible:
Every time

Actual results:

[660 other similar messages, all in /doxygen/html/

Expected results:
No conflicts

Additional info:
Although the conflict has been around for a while (Fedora 8, if not longer), Fedora 9's anaconda used to hide these conflicts and install both packages anyway.  yum and rpm would still report conflicts and require rpm --replacefiles.  I know because I added these packages to my kickstart files to avoid post-install installation conflicts.
