Yes, the conflict is possible, but it should be resolved on the tetex-beamer side, so you need to contact tetex-beamer maintainer in Extras, AFAIK, he's Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo at di.uminho.pt> to let it be fixed. Jindrich
Jindrich, That's not so simple. The problem occurs with tetex-beamer and its two requirements: tetex-pgf and tetex-xcolor. When these LaTeX packages were added to fedora extras (FC3) they weren't included with tetex (version 2 at the time). FC-4 ships with tetex 3 which includes beamer, pgf, and xcolor as core packages. I have already request several weeks ago (2005-05-19) the removal of the following packages - tetex-{beamer,pgf,xcolor} - from the Fedora Extras FC-4 and devel branches but they are still there. The correct solution to this problem will also require changes to the tetex specfile. I think it will have to be something like: Obsoletes: tetex-beamer Obsoletes: tetex-pgf Obsoletes: tetex-xcolor Can this done? jpo Related/duplicated problem: * #158168: tetex-xcolor conflict https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158168
Meanwhile request the removal of the packages from the repository. This has been done for several other packages just recently via the FC4Status page in the Wiki (see page changelog).
Michael, I already placed the request a month ago in the CVSSyncNeeded page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/CVSSyncNeeded ) and a couple of weeks ago I updated it again when the FC-4 branch was created. As far as I can tell this is the correct page.
But if I tell you...? ;-)
Jose, thanks for making things clear to me. I'm not aware of the teTeX Extras package changes at the moment so I'm happy for a new information. I'll add the obsoletes to the tetex spec.
Thanks to Michael the three tetex packages (tetex-{xcolor,pgf,beamer}) were finally removed from the Extras' mirrors (FC-4 branch).
From User-Agent: XML-RPC tetex-3.0-6.FC4 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
