Description Jesse Keating 2008-03-03 13:38:57 UTC 
Summary says it all.  Users will get conflicting files output if they attempt to
update from libsmbios-bin-0.13.13-1.fc9
Comment 1 Michael E Brown 2008-03-03 14:54:50 UTC 
Fixed in 2.0.1-2, which was just tagged and built in rawhide.
Comment 2 Horst H. von Brand 2008-03-03 16:17:15 UTC 
*** Bug 435708 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Alex Lancaster 2008-03-04 06:44:46 UTC 
I still get yum errors similar to bug #435708 updating from
libsmbios-bin-0.13.13-1.fc8.i386 on rawhide.  Is there a workaround for this? 
Do you have to manually remove the old package?
Comment 4 Alex Lancaster 2008-03-04 06:47:38 UTC 
i.e. they mention libsmbios-bin-0.13.13-1.fc8.i386 rather than
libsmbios-bin-0.13.13-1.fc9.i386  as I had originally installed F-8 then yum
updated to rawhide:

Comment 5 Andrew Farris 2008-03-04 09:21:03 UTC 
Alex, workaround (for today's repo, before the fix is there), run:
rpm -e --nodeps libsmbios-bin; yum install smbios-utils libsmbios; yum
--skip-broken update
Comment 6 Michael E Brown 2008-03-04 15:34:43 UTC 
The other workaround would be to wait until the next rawhide compose, as this
has been built and should be fixed as soon as the new build is pushed to rawhide.
Comment 7 Alex Lancaster 2008-03-04 19:45:26 UTC 
OK, rawhide build has now been pushed and "yum update" proceeds as expected.
