Description Philippe Troin 2008-12-24 21:50:05 UTC
Description of problem:

yum install evolution.i386 evolution.x86_64

yields:

  file /usr/share/locale/am/LC_MESSAGES/evolution-2.24.mo from install of evolution-2.24.2-2.fc10.i386 conflicts with file from package evolution-2.24.2-2.fc10.x86_64

...many more...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.24.2-2.fc10

Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2008-12-24 23:02:54 UTC
evolution.i386 and evolution.x86_64 are mutually exclusive.

Comment 2 Philippe Troin 2009-01-05 01:29:32 UTC
Reopening.

If that's the case, then they should conflict which each other.

Nevertheless I believe you're wrong.  On F8, one was able to install both 32 and 64 bit version.  This is just poor multilib handling.  The conflicting files are message catalogs.  I have a bunch of packages containing message catalogs with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed.  Evolution should be able to to the same.

Please reconsider.

Comment 3 Philippe Troin 2009-01-21 22:41:15 UTC
Well the problem fixed itself with evolution-2.24.3-1.fc10.i386.rpm.
Therefore closing.

Comment 4 Philippe Troin 2009-03-02 23:35:53 UTC
The problem was reintroduced with evolution-2.24.5-1.fc10

Comment 5 Philippe Troin 2009-06-26 18:43:17 UTC
Still broken in F11 with evolution-2.26.2-1.fc11.
Would you accept a patch?

From my side yes, but I do not understand the background enough.
What do you think, Matt?

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 12:37:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 14:04:47 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 14 Philippe Troin 2013-10-14 16:46:08 UTC
Bug still there in F19.

Comment 15 Milan Crha 2013-10-15 09:03:50 UTC
I still do not understand why it would generate different message catalogs, those as such are supposed to be the same on all arches, no?

For example the am.po begins with:
  # Translations into the Amharic Language.
  # Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  # This file is distributed under the same license as the evolution package.
  # Ge'ez Frontier Foundation <locales>, 2002.
  #
  #
  msgid ""
  msgstr ""
  "Project-Id-Version: evolution 1.0\n"
  "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
  "POT-Creation-Date: 2005-09-11 17:30+0200\n"
  "PO-Revision-Date: 2003-02-07 17:46+EDT\n"
  "Last-Translator: Ge'ez Frontier Foundation <locales>\n"
  "Language-Team: Amharic <locales>\n"
  "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
  "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
  "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

which is almost the same as the one used in evolution-data-server, which doesn't suffer of this multilib issue.

I see one difference in the .spec file, evolution strips some messages from the .mo files, while the evolution-data-server doesn't do that. The related code is:

   # Strip unneeded translations from .mo files.
   # This reduces the RPM size by several megabytes.
   cd po
   grep -v ".*[.]desktop[.]in[.]in$" POTFILES.in > POTFILES.keep
   mv POTFILES.keep POTFILES.in
   intltool-update --gettext-package=%{name}-%{evo_base_version} --pot
   for p in *.po; do
   	msgmerge $p %{name}-%{evo_base_version}.pot > $p.out
   	msgfmt -o `basename $p .po`.gmo $p.out
   done
   cd -
