Description Bruno Wolff III 2012-05-06 01:30:12 UTC

Description of problem:

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

Transaction Check Error:
  file /var/spool/gdm from install of kde-settings-kdm-4.8-8.fc18.noarch conflicts with file from package gdm-1:3.4.1-1.fc18.i686
  file /etc/ggz.modules.d from install of kdegames-6:4.8.3-1.fc18.i686 conflicts with file from package ggz-base-libs-0.99.5-10.fc17.i686

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2012-05-06 09:14:13 UTC

These are co-owned directories, not files.

Comment 2 Bruno Wolff III 2012-05-06 12:39:22 UTC

That output is the result of a yum error that blocks any updates scheduled for
that transaction. The conflict needs to be resolved (maybe there are permission
differences or something similar) or the packages need a conflicts declaration
so that yum can remove a package from the transaction (so that --skip-broken
will work) before the transaction test step.

Comment 3 Bruno Wolff III 2012-05-06 12:59:04 UTC

I have confirmed that the access protections for the two definitions of the directory are different. I saw some place on the lists that rpm has started caring about this in rawhide, so the issue may not have triggered a conflict in earlier releases.

Comment 4 Bruno Wolff III 2012-05-06 13:01:54 UTC

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2012-05-06 16:18:52 UTC

Oh duh, strange permissions…

gdm is the one having strange permissions here and should be fixed.

Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-05-08 14:50:08 UTC

We should probably just drop it.  Neither of us use it anymore, right?

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2012-05-08 15:11:39 UTC

The code still supports looking there, but if plymouth doesn't use it, then dropping it indeed is the way to go.

Comment 8 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-05-08 15:17:35 UTC

well plymouth still writes the file, but I'm thinking we could drop that now.

Comment 9 Kevin Kofler 2012-05-31 12:57:13 UTC

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2012-06-12 23:11:01 UTC

Both kde-settings-kdm and gdm are on the F17 DVD, so it's a reasonable assumption they will be on the F18 Alpha DVD. Non-explicit conflicts like this are verboten, so proposing as an Alpha blocker:

"There must be no file conflicts (cases where the files in some packages conflict but the packages have explicit Conflicts: tags are acceptable) or unresolved package dependencies during a media-based (DVD) install"

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2012-06-13 17:39:56 UTC

Dropped owning that dir in kde-settings:

%changelog
* Wed Jun 13 2012 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 4.8-15.1
- kde-settings-kdm conflicts with gdm (#819254)

Comment 12 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-06-13 18:27:29 UTC

Dropped it in GDM as well.
