Description of problem: file /lib/firmware/v4l-cx25840.fw from install of ivtv-firmware-2:20080701-26.noarch conflicts with file from package linux-firmware-20150410-46.gitec89525b.fc21.noarch
This package is in orphan but hasn't been blocked. https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6150
Sigh. I've already filed an update that removes the conflict from linux-firmware. I guess I can add the files back.

OK, I added the file back to linux-firmware. The rest of the firmware that was in ivtv-firmware isn't in the upstream linux-firmware repo so it remains unpackaged.
Shouldn't linux-firmware then obsolete ivtv-firmware? Otherwise upgrades from F-21 and earlier might run into this conflict.

It's an option, but I'm not sure it is the correct one. The linux-firmware package is only providing a single file out of all the files that ivtv-firmware provided. Is it correct to Obsolete a package when you're only providing part of what the older one shipped?

With the ivtv-firmware being blocked from F22+, the alternative of removing the conflicting file from it won't work. Obsoleting ivtv-firmware at least makes the upgrade smooth :). Or is there a different way to make upgrades go smoothly?
OK, I obsoleted ivtv-firmware. Thanks for catching this.
but you said in Comment #6 > The linux-firmware package is only providing a single file out of all the files > that ivtv-firmware provided. v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg added to linux-firmware-20150521-52.git3161bfa4.fc22.noarch.rpm
Can we have a revert until the unresponsive packager figure out how to add the missing files, that is v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211055#c9 v4l2-utils need to be required v4l-utils removed

I see you've opened bug 1232773 to deal with whatever you're trying to accomplish anyway, so we'll work in that bug and close this one out.
