Description Giordano Battilana 2016-09-09 16:02:25 UTC
Description of problem:

I tried to install "steam" which depends on gmp-1:6.1.1-1.fc24.i686.
The installation failed because gmp.i686 is going to overwrite a file placed by gmp.x86_64

Errore: Transaction check error:
  il file /usr/share/doc/gmp/NEWS dell'installazione di gmp-1:6.1.1-1.fc24.i686 entra in conflitto con il file del pacchetto gmp-1:6.1.0-2.fc24.x86_64

This particular case might be solved by versioning /usr/share/doc/gmp folder, but this is not current practice in Fedora. In general, Fedora does not allow multiple releases of the same package installed. You can have package-version1.x86_64 and package-version1.i686 (not always, magic word is "multilib"). But you can not have package-version1.x86_64 and package-version2.i686 at the same time.
Instead of this, Fedora currently seems to go in the direction of containers which aloow you to have multiple versions, but in a different way.

Comment 2 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2017-02-28 17:17:05 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 22:56:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.
