From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; H010818) Description of problem: TeXmacs contains a copy of fig2ps instead of depending on it (fig2ps-1.3.3-2 is in Extras). This causes the 2 packages to conflict. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): TeXmacs-1.0.5.11-1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fig2ps. 2. Try to install TeXmacs. Actual Results: Committing changes... Preparing packages for installation... file /usr/bin/fig2ps from install of TeXmacs-1.0.5.11-1.fc4 conflicts with file from package fig2ps-1.3.3-2 file /usr/share/man/man1/fig2ps.1.gz from install of TeXmacs-1.0.5.11-1.fc4 conflicts with file from package fig2ps-1.3.3-2 Expected Results: TeXmacs should install. Additional info: Please have the TeXmacs specfile rm the 2 offending files and "Requires: fig2ps" instead.
Although both programs probably do the same same, they are not the same. Is it save to use the other fig2ps?
I didn't look at the source code yet. I guess we have to figure this out.
I just noticed that fig2ps (TeXmacs) used some progs that I didn't include in the Requires, e.g. dvips and fig2dev. I presume the fig2ps has a Requires for transfig which includes fig2dev!? I think removing fig2ps from TeXmacs is the way to go.
Removed fig2ps from the package and added requires fig2ps.
