I've stumbled over the problem when I tried to install bluecurve-gdm-theme: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/gdm/themes/Bluecurve/rh_logo-header.png from install of bluecurve-gdm-theme-1.0.0-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package fedora-logos-7.94.0-1.fc8 file /usr/share/gdm/themes/Bluecurve/screenshot.png from install of bluecurve-gdm-theme-1.0.0-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package fedora-logos-7.94.0-1.fc8 It looks like, that exactly the same file is package twice: in fedora-logos as well as in bluecurve-gdm-theme "rpm -V fedora-logos" revealed a couple of more files which are package twice: e.g.: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/screensavers/system.desktop fedora-logos-7.94.0-1.fc8 fedora-screensaver-theme-1.0.0-1.fc8 and nearly all pictures from the "infinity" theme: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qf /usr/share/gdm/themes/FedoraInfinity/reboot-active.png fedora-logos-7.94.0-1.fc8 fedorainfinity-gdm-theme-8.0.0-1.fc8 Normally the files should just be packaged once. Otherwise strange effects (like the mentioned install problem) will occur.
Update for RAWHIDE (upcoming FC9): problem got smaller, but the following issue is still valid: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/screensavers/system.desktop fedora-logos-8.0.3-1.fc9.noarch fedora-screensaver-theme-1.0.0-1.fc8.noarch In general a file should be only in one package... ;-)
This bug is still present in Fedora rawhide: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/screensavers/system.desktop fedora-logos-8.99.2-1.fc9.noarch fedora-screensaver-theme-1.0.0-1.fc8.noarch
Created attachment 304475 [details] maybe fedora-logos was an old package ? No, seems to be wanted. Thought it may have been due to an f8-rawhide upgrade, however: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/screensavers/system.desktop fedora-logos-9.0.0-2.fc9.noarch fedora-screensaver-theme-1.0.0-1.fc8.noarch # yum remove fedora-screensaver-theme ...

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Odd, thats the only file included in fedora-screensaver-theme, and its duplicated in fedora-logos. We should probably just kill fedora-screensaver-theme
