This is because you are using two different versions of policy. Update both at the same time. The only time this would happen is if the man pages change. Dan
> This is because you are using two different versions of policy. According to current packaging, there's nothing wrong with using several version of the policy simultaneously (they're set up for parallel install). However when you try to update them, rpm reports an error condition, which indicates a problem, confusing the user. I agree that this isn't a very important bug, bug IMHO it's still a bug - if the documentation is shared, it should be in a shared package. If it is per policy, per policy manpages should be installed, so they can be changed independently without a conflict. Your decision...leaving bug as closed.
I should note that this will block the yum transaction, preventing a yum upgrade for people with multiple versions of policy installed...
