djvulibre multi-lib conflicts

djvulibre - 3.5.18-1.fc7.x86_64 Conflicts: 2 File conflict in: /usr/share/man/man1/nsdejavu.1.gz /usr/share/man/ja/man1/nsdejavu.1.gz Packages with the same files: djvulibre - 3.5.18-1.fc7.i386
Ouch. Is this really to be considered a bug? I really hope not...
djvulibre-devel.i386 makes available djvulibre.i386 on x86_64. It's an EasyFix, though.
EasyFix how? I thought rpm had all the hacks it needed to deal with typically conflicting files like docs, translations and arch-specific binaries in this kind of case. So if it reports a conflict, the man pages must differ between arches, right? Is finding out why and finding a solution to make them identical what you mean by EasyFix? Maybe I shouldn't have split out the devel sub-package, and stay with the main package providing it, since AFAIK nothing in Fedora builds against djvulibre anyway, and the devel is only a few kBs...
Virtual -devel packages would be no different. All that matters is that there is a -devel package. The corresponding thread on fedora-devel-list says that conflicts in %doc are common. When checking Rawhide, only six packages had a multi-lib conflict left. EasyFix, because a single instance of /usr/lib in the manual is replaced with /usr/lib64. In all other places it still reads /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. And "netscape" in the path is inaccurate anyway, since the file is packaged in a different location. $ grep /usr/lib nsdejavu.1.x86_64 .B /usr/lib64/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so .B "/usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so" .B "ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so ." .B "ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so ." .IR /usr/lib/mozilla-1.1 : .BI "cd " "/usr/lib/mozilla-1.1" "/plugins" .B "ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so ." .IR /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox : .BI "cd " "/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox" "/plugins" .B "ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so ." .B "/usr/lib/netscape/plugins" $ diff -u nsdejavu.1.i386 nsdejavu.1.x86_64 --- nsdejavu.1.i386 2007-02-05 13:51:14.000000000 +0100 +++ nsdejavu.1.x86_64 2007-02-05 14:08:18.000000000 +0100 @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ nsdejavu \- DjVu browser plugin .SH SYNOPSIS -.B /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so +.B /usr/lib64/netscape/plugins/nsdejavu.so .SH DESCRIPTION The shared library
Thanks for the information. I'll include a patch which updates the nsdejavu.1 man page quite a lot, and makes sure it's the same with different LIBDIR values, as well as a quick one liner for the Japanese man page, since I don't read or write Japanese...
The patch is ready, but I'll only push a new build once I get bug #186801 fixed too, since I'm now able to reproduce the problem myself.
This has been fixed in Rawhide's 3.5.19-2.fc8 package.
