Description of problem: There is a naming problem in lapack for man pages MIN and MAX because the conflict with existing man pages in the man-pages package. Maybe they need to be renamed? lapack-MIN and lapack-MAX? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.9.1-1.fc35.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have the man-pages package installed 2. Try to install the lapack package 3. Actual results: Error: Transaction test error: file /usr/share/man/man3/MAX.3.gz from install of lapack-3.9.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package man-pages-5.12-1.fc35.noarch file /usr/share/man/man3/MIN.3.gz from install of lapack-3.9.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package man-pages-5.12-1.fc35.noarch Expected results: successful install Additional info:
Bug 1980579 was filed about the same issue but against man-pages. A lapack update to 3.10.0-1.fc35 continues to provide manpages in question and bumps into the same conflict.
Since these two man pages from lapack are in fact links to lapacke_utils.h.3, simply renaming the files would be sufficient to avoid the conflict. Another possible solution would be to introduce a section called for example "3l" exclusively for lapack man pages. What do you think, Tom?
Should be fixed in -2. Sorry for the delay.
Life happens. :-) Thanks for your help.
