Description of problem: The new pidgin packages, which replace the old GAIM packages will not install. It fails with a file conflict in the gstreamer package man page file. It is adding that as a dependency when it is already installed on my system, and that causes the file conflict. It adds all the following dependencies: NetworkManager-glib-0.6.4-5.fc6 evolution-data-server-1.8.3-6.fc6 gstreamer-0.10.11-1.fc6 gtkspell-2.0.11-2.1 libpurple-2.0.1-1.fc6 libpurple-2.0.1-1.fc6 libsilc-1.0.2-2.fc6 libsoup-2.2.99-1.fc6 meanwhile-1.0.2-3.fc6 meanwhile-1.0.2-3.fc6 startup-notification-0.8-4.1 Of which only libpurple and meanwhile are not already installed on my system and at the correct version. Therefore, the gstreamer issue is only the first file conflict, there are many more that would occur trying to install this package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.1 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. View updates from yum tray icon. 2. Select pigdin package. 3. Select apply updates. Actual results: Adds the above mentioned dependencies, and then when trying to install gets file conflict errors because the dependency list is incorrect. Expected results: Should have added the meanwhile and libpurple dependencies only, and installed cleanly. Additional info:
I wonder if you're trying to install an i386 rpm on an x64_64 system, or vice-versa?
If you select all available updates instead of just Pidgin does this work?
I only have the 64-bit version of GAIM installed, and the update should be for that, so I don't think it would pick the 32-bit version when I am using the tray icon interface for yum. In regards to selecting all available updates that is what I did first, and it still didn't work. In fact, to figure out what was causing it, I deselected one update at a time to figure out that it was Pigdin that was causing the problem. All the other updates applied fine, and the only update left in the interface is Pigdin.
Can you please list which specific file conflict you got?
Here is the specific conflict: [('file /usr/share/man/man1/gst-launch-0.10.1.gz from install of gstreamer-0.10.11-1.fc6 conflicts with file from package gstreamer-0.10.11-1.fc6', (7, '/usr/share/man/man1/gst-launch-0.10.1.gz', 0L))] Of course, as I was trying to point out, that this is merely the first conflict of many, since it is trying to install packages, via added dependencies, that are already installed. Of the dependencies added (listed in the body of the report) only meanwhile and libpurple are not already installed and at the correct version.
So, I tried something, and what do you know it worked. Instead of clicking on the yum updatesd tray icon and selecting "View updates", I started up the Package Manager application, searched for pidgin, and selected it to install. It added only the libpurple and meanwhile dependencies, and it installed perfectly. After that, when I "View updates" through the tray icon (PUP), I get no updates available. Don't know why PUP is adding all the extra dependencies, so this looks like a PUP issue and not a package issue.
This is due to multilib. It's trying to bring in the gstreamer.i386 package when you already have gstreamer.x86_64, and there seems to be a conflict in the package that is a separate bug/problem. We're still investigating on a test install.

Please don't confuse the issue. gstreamer is the only confirmed conflict so far. Reproduce Procedure: 1) Install only gaim.x86_64 and gstreamer.x86_64. 2) yum update and say yes. It will pull in gstreamer.i386. Update fails with: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/gst-launch-0.10.1.gz from in stall of gstreamer-0.10.11-1.fc6 conflicts with file from package gstreamer-0.10 .11-1.fc6
I had the same problem: gstreamer.i386 gets pulled in to satisfy dependencies even though the machine is x86_64, then yum -y update fails because of a man page conflict between i386 and x86_64 versions of gstreamer. Until gstreamer RPMs are rebuilt to fix this non-problem, here is a workaround (assuming that gstreamer-0.10.11-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm is already installed): rpm -ivh --force gstreamer-0.10.11-1.fc6.i386.rpm yum -y update This worked on my system.
