RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Nux 2015-02-08 19:31:54 UTC
Description of problem:

file /usr/lib64/libntfs-3g.so.85.0.0 from install of libguestfs-winsupport-7.1-3.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package ntfs-3g-2:2014.2.15-8.el7.x86_64



Expected results:
the two packages should not conflict

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-02-09 08:44:06 UTC
Certainly a tricky one to fix.  libguestfs-winsupport is essentially
ntfs-3g, so the packages have a similar function.  It seems we could
either move all the files in libguestfs-winsupport so they don't
conflict, or just add 'Conflicts: ntfs-3g' to the libguestfs-winsupport
package to avoid someone trying to install both, or try to make
the package contents of each identical so rpm allows both packages
to be installed in parallel.

Comment 3 Nux 2015-02-09 09:01:50 UTC
I'd go for a custom installation prefix so as to not mess with a package that is already well known and established. /imho

Comment 5 Hu Zhang 2015-09-16 04:49:15 UTC
