It isn't said anywhere, that all third-party repos can be co-existing without any conflicts. Closing this as `NOTABUG`.
I'm reopening this. This is a bug, plain and simple, since the python2-html2text as packaged in EPEL7 is NOT the same as the html2text previously packaged (and still available) in EPEL7 (at: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/h/html2text-1.3.2a-14.el7.x86_64.rpm ). While EPEL has no duty to maintain a different third-party repo's packages, it does have a responsibility to not introduce a regression in its own package space. Normal bug information: Description of problem: If I install python-html2text, it obsoletes html2text.

Actual results: html2text is a binary, not a python script, and the two do not have the same command line arguments. The xtrs build, for instance, uses the binary, C++, html2text and relies on its arguments and its behavior. (I hadn't had html2text installed before, and I had to install it by hand from EPEL to build xtrs, since yum now tries to install python2-html2text, which IS NOT THE RIGHT PROGRAM). Expected results: Leave html2text alone; any other resolution is a regression.

Each HTML document is read from standard input or a (local or remote) URI, and formatted into a stream of plain text characters that is written to standard output or into an output-file. The program preserves the original positions of table fields and accepts also syntactically incorrect input, attempting to interpret it "reasonably". The rendering is largely customisable through an RC file. [lowen@FREE-IP-93 ~]$
(In reply to Lamar Owen from comment #2) ... Facepalm... of course, this should have been filed for the package python2-html2text, not python-html2text, and I'll refile.
.... but python2-html2text is not listed as a component of EPEL7 in bugzilla, so I guess this is currently the correct component, so I'm re-opening again.

Hi, If Fedora python-html2text replaces html2text [1] and we already don't have html2text, seems to me better that same happens in epel 7 python2-html2text provides similar functionality out of the box , I think.

Fixing typos , "I can't see any program called xtrs" html2text is not available on epel7 anymore (at: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/h/html2text-1.3.2a-14.el7.x86_64.rpm ). I'm removing Obsoletes entries from spec , hope that helps you , but will not remove Provides, python-html2text will still provide html2text ... Any comment is welcome . Thanks.
