Description Christopher Beland 2011-05-09 14:38:58 UTC
"yum update" is attempting the following:

Updating:
 ntfs-3g             x86_64   2:2011.4.12-2.fc14      updates             247 k
 ntfs-3g-debuginfo   x86_64   2:2011.4.12-2.fc14      updates-debuginfo   1.4 M
 ntfsprogs           x86_64   2:2011.4.12-2.fc14      updates             223 k

It fails with:

Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/lib/debug/sbin/mkfs.ntfs.debug from install of ntfs-3g-debuginfo-2:2011.4.12-2.fc14.x86_64 conflicts with file from package ntfsprogs-debuginfo-2.0.0-15.fc14.x86_64

Currently installed NTFS RPMS:

ntfs-3g-2011.1.15-1.fc14.x86_64
ntfs-3g-debuginfo-2011.1.15-1.fc14.x86_64
ntfsprogs-2.0.0-15.fc14.x86_64
ntfsprogs-debuginfo-2.0.0-15.fc14.x86_64

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-05-09 14:50:08 UTC
So, this is happening because:

* ntfsprogs used to be a standalone package with its own debuginfo
* ntfsprogs is now a subpackage of ntfs-3g, and the debuginfo bits are in the ntfs-3g debuginfo package

Since the debuginfo packages are autogenerated, there is no good way that I know of to add a Provides/Obsoletes into the ntfs-3g-debuginfo package.

The simplest solution here is to run:

yum remove ntfsprogs-debuginfo 

then

yum update

Please let me know if that does not work as a workaround for this issue.

That seems to have worked, thanks!

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:35:47 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
