Description of problem: I use the Software Updater package to automatically notify me of package updates. All updates work correctly except the update to MKINITRD. The software indicates the MKINITRD package needs to be updated (below is the package information): ID FEDORA-2006-1398 Type bugfix Status final Issued 2006-12-14 11:29:09.16 Updated 2006-12-14 11:29:09.16 Description This update is needed for kernel-2.6.19 . When running the update, I get an error (see below): ('file /sbin/mkinitrd from install of mkinitrd-5.1.19.0.2-1 conflicts with file from package mkinitrd-5.1.19-1', (7, '/sbin/mkinitrd', 0L)) All other packages have updated successfully. I just completed a reinstall of Fedora Core 6 and installed all updates that were available to get to the most current version. I have installed one other package - Turboprint - and installed that package via the RPM file that was available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): See comments in above description. How reproducible: This occurs every time I try to update - regardless of the tool that I try to use (Software Updater or YUM Externder - both of which are listed as in the Applications option under System Tools). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Software Updater 2. Select the MKINITRD package updates 3. Apply the updates. Actual results: Listed in description above. Expected results: I expected to get a message that the software was updated successfully. Additional info:
