Description Wolfgang Ulbrich 2013-12-25 21:20:30 UTC
Description of problem:
yelp doesn't own /usr/share/help

Mate desktop switch to using yelp with f21.
During renaming reviews of some mate-packages for f21 i stumbled about this problem.
IE. atril, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043297#c3

Yelp is the first package which use /usr/share/help for both desktops gnome and mate.
This directory should be owned by yelp itself, otherwise we get 'yum provides' issues in mate if gnome isn't installed.

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

How reproducible:
see fedora-review results

Additional info:
I get this issue in several review results for renaming mate apps.
In one of theme brasero own this directory which is complete wrong.

Thank you

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 3 Kalev Lember 2015-03-04 13:56:47 UTC
I don't think it makes sense to have every package that installs something to /usr/share/help depend on yelp, just for the directory ownership.

The two options I see here are:

1) Have the 'filesystem' package own /usr/share/help and the subdirectories, or

2) Have each individual package that installs files in /usr/share/help also own the directories there.

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
