notification-demon needs to conflict with xfce4-notifyd
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:58:25 EST
Description of problem: I recently imported xfce4-notifyd, an alternative implemantaion of a notification daemon into F-11 and rawhide. Both conflict since they both provide /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service As both packages also provide the virtual desktop-notification-daemon, yum is getting confused which has caused a number of builds to fail so far, e. g. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1351516 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): notification-daemon-0.4.0-3.fc11 Additional info: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1788 https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-May/msg01062.html
This looks like we need both a proper fix and a workaround. The right fix will be related to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484945 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20099 And a temporary workaround until that's implemented.
Meanwhile I have patched xfce4-notifyd to no longer conflict with notification-daemon, so this can be closed.
