Use a file conflict enabled rpm to install both 32bit and 64bit versions of this package 2. 3. Actual Results: See listed file conflicts in description Expected Results: No file conflicts Additional info:
I'm not sure how to fix this. Either we can move the docs to -devel subpackage, create a new -doc subpackage or remove the pdf and ps versions completely.
The problem is that moving the ps and pdf files to different packages won't change the fact that if you then try to install those packages for 32bit and 64bit at the same time you'd end up having file conflicts again. The only 3 possible solutions i know of are these: 1) Easy mode: drop the ps and pdf files 2) Harder mode: Change the filespec so that for the doc files no fileconflict checks are done (disable the checks basically) 3) Hardest mode: Make sure the files are identical for 32bit and 64bit, which i belive is nearly impossible for autogenerated ps and pdf files as the contain a timestamp. So i belive either 1 or 2 should be done, depending on wether the ps and pdf files are really needed or not. Read ya, Phil
Hmm I see that -devel subpackage is actually installed multilib on all arches except ia64. So a new subpackage -doc would have to be created or drop the ps and pdf files completely. The -doc subpackage wouldn't be installed multilib so the problem of conflicting files would be moot.
Fixed by removing the ps and pdf docs.
