Complete list of files owned by more than one RPM in beta3
FWIW, it's not necessarily a bug for a file to be owned by multiple packages. I am aware that it is not a bug for a file to be owned by multiple packages. I only filed bugs against those packages which I thought were incorrect. The ones that are not problems are: kernel and kernel-BOOT sharing /sbin/installkernel Any of the XFree86 3.3.6 ones Additionally, I have been told that the /etc/rc?.d symlinks are supposed to be owned by two packages. But I think that most of these are caused by simple spec file errors. Actually, /sbin/installkernel being multiply owned by the kernel packages is a bug. :) We need to find somewhere else to put it.... When I talked to Arjan over the weekend, he said that it wasn't a bug. Can you open another bug on this issue and make it block this one, if you want it fixed? This bug has too many deps to make adding comments a pleasant task :( The XFree86 bug report was NOTABUG. The manpages are included in each package to which they have relevance. There is no requirement for installing all servers, so if the page is only included in a single package, then if the other package is installed, you don't have the matching manpage. That is why the manpages are included in each subpackage that is relevant. About half of these have been fixed as of RC2. It would be very nice if all these could be fixed before release. I am attaching a stripped down script that will quickly find these bugs so that there will not be more of these bugs in the future. Created attachment 30556 [details]
