Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Update in the current rawhide bumps into the following error: Running transaction test Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/share/man/man4/lirc.4.gz from install of man-pages-4.05-1.fc25.noarch conflicts with file from package lirc-core-0.9.3a-4.fc24.x86_64 and that update transaction bails out Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-4.05-1.fc25 Additional info: A possible workaround for the moment: rpm -Uvh --replacefiles man-pages-4.05-1.fc25.noarch.rpm but it would be nice not to have to do that. A corrdination with lirc?

lirc-0.9.3a-4.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-4a5e563396
lirc-0.9.3a-4.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

lirc-0.9.3a-4.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
I just saw this when updating to Fedora 24 Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/share/man/man4/lirc.4.gz conflicts between attempted installs of man-pages-4.06-2.fc24.noarch and lirc-core-0.9.3a-4.fc24.x86_64
Should I file a new bug report, or can this one be re-opened?
hm... there is a zero-day update to lirc-0.9.4 in f24. Have you applied that?
Nope. How can I apply that before upgrading to F24? I suppose I could remove lirc, upgrade, and then add lirc back, but that doesn't help the next person. Perhaps a note is needed in the bugs section of the F24 page?
There is also a point fix in f23 which resolves this. The bug will hit anyone which does not update to latest f23 before going for f24 - but is that worth a note? Dunno
I am at Name : lirc-core Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 0 Version : 0.9.3a Release : 4.fc23 already, which I think is up-to-date. In any case, it looks as if the conflict is between the two F24 packages so what is in installed packages shouldn't matter, unless there is some magic going on.
Yup, you are right. And no magic. The f24 lirc package is broken, breaking an update. The best work-around is probably to remove it before upgrade and then re-install it after. Which indeed needs a note. Sigh. I should a have made a point fix for f24 as well, didn't realize the upgrade problem - was happy with the zero-day 0.9.4 update.
So sudo dnf remove lirc-core - upgrade sudo dnf install lirc appears to get around the problem. Does this mean, however, that there is something missing from the checks done for a Fedora release? This should have been caught somehow. How can this glitch be brought to the attention of the Fedora people?

This is STILL an issue when attempting to perform upgrade from F23 to F24 and there is STILL NO published fix other than this note.
The problem is that the release media is what like it is, even after the package is updated. I don't know if there are channels to update the release image. Updating the release image is necessary to fix this bug.
I think the real problem here is that only lirc-drv-iguanaIR-0.9.3a-4.fc24 is available in the "fedora" repository -- but the manpage fix was in 0.9.3a-5, according to the RPM changelog. So if you have lirc-drv-iguanaIR-0.9.3a-4.fc23 installed on F23 (which most people will if they've had lirc installed for a while), the dependencies between packages forces "dnf system-upgrade" to pick 0.9.3a-4 for *all* lirc packages. If lirc-drv-iguanaIR isn't supposed to exist any more, then the only way out of this mess is to have a later lirc version explicitly Obsolete it. And if it *is* supposed to exist... why aren't new versions of it in the F24 "updates" and "updates-testing" repositories?

Most likely not: $ dnf repoquery -releasever=23 -q --requires lirc-drv-iguanair ... lirc-core >= 0.9.4 The iguana driver is just a plugin; it's ok just lirc-core provides the plugin interface ABI (which is stable ). There are no exact version requirements. As I understand this, the problem is rather that the release media contains the bad version, my point fix didn't make it to the media generation. It was my bad, but I frankly don't know how to deal with it. Perhaps a dnf-based upgrade would avoid this problem, picking the available update in favor of the broken? BTW: the iguanair plugin is not going away, no way. But for those who doesn't use this hardware it's easy to just uninstall this package.
Oops, looking at that output I see the hard dependencies staring at me, autogenerated. This is plain wrong, they should be filtered away somehow. Thanks for bringing this up!
So, there is an update available for lirc-drv-iguanair at my COPR repo [1] which generates the correct dependency on lirc-core. I really need to have this package reviewed. [1] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/leamas/lirc-0.9.4-preview/

@andrew: Thanks for reporting back! Will push the iguanaIR update, which really is a leftover from the somewhat messy move of several plugins out of lirc.
