Description Allan Engelhardt 2008-05-30 11:09:17 UTC
Description of problem:

The lam and wipe packages conflict over the file /usr/share/man/man1/wipe.1.gz .
 Since the lam man page is just a 'use lamwipe instead' message, the wipe
package should probably be given this file.  I suggest removing this file from
the lam package (even if shred(1) from coreutils appear to be the preferred
application).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

lam.x86_64  2:7.1.2-11.fc9
wipe.x86_64 0.21-2.fc9

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install lam; yum install wipe
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/share/man/man1/wipe.1.gz from install of wipe-0.21-2.fc9.x86_64
conflicts with file from package lam-7.1.2-11.fc9.x86_64


Expected results:
No conflicts

Additional info:

Comment 1 Doug Ledford 2008-06-25 19:16:10 UTC
I built an updated lam-7.1.4-1.fc9 package that solves this by keeping the
entire lam tree hierarchy under /usr/lib{,64}/lam, including man pages are under
/usr/lib{,64}/lam/man and get picked up only when /usr/lib{,64}/lam/bin is in
the PATH environment variable, which will only happen if you use the
environment-modules module() command to load the /usr/lib{,64}/lam/lam.module
module.
