VirtualBox repo file, slightly modified for F18
Upstream doesn't support Fedora 18 directly yet, so $releasever had to be set to 18

Google Music Manager repo file
This is a packaging bug in both VirtualBox and google-musicmanager: they claim to own /usr/bin directory (which they have no business owning) and the specified permissions differ from those of filesystem package. Rpm < 4.10 just does not notice and report the permission conflict. Report to Google and Oracle, they need to fix their packaging. This problem can also be reproduced with google earth Issue has been created for Google Earth: http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=1525 I have a similar Issue with nixnote on fedora 18. (sorry, error is in german) Datei / aus der Installation von nixnote-1.5-2.x86_64 kollidiert mit der Datei aus dem Paket filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64 Datei /usr/bin aus der Installation von nixnote-1.5-2.x86_64 kollidiert mit der Datei aus dem Paket filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64 http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/files/Current/nixnote-1.5-2.x86_64.rpm/download @Mario Ganz - it seems that the nixnote package was ported from a .deb. If we check the output of # rpm -qpi nixnote-*.x86_64.rpm ... (Converted from a deb package by alien version 8.88.) It seems that either alien doesn't convert properly or the nixnote maintainers need to package properly for Fedora. Four fucking years, and google earh rpm for linux still gives this error. Obviously, you can install with rpm --force, but this is going to be an obstacle for many users. Pathetic, unprofessional, pitiful lack of effort from google. |
