Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The installed versions are libquicktime-utils-1.1.3-3.fc12.i686 qtoctave-0.8.2-2.fc12.i686 The error reported by yum update is: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/qtinfo from install of qtoctave-0.9.1-1.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package libquicktime-utils-1.1.3-3.fc12.i686

I think we should rename the tool and patch the program to find the renamed tool ASAP to prevent the conflict, if upstream uses a different name later, that shouldn't be too much of a problem given that the tool is normally executed from within QtOctave.

This patch renames qtinfo to qtoctave-info http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/qtoctave-info.patch Looks like help working with it but I am not sure about code in qtoctave-0.9.1/qtoctave/src/main.cpp: if(get_config("qtinfo_ok").isEmpty() || get_config("qtinfo_ok")=="false" ) { oc->command_enter("qtinfo"); } Should we change qtinfo to qtoctave-info here?
No. This calls the qtinfo() Octave function which we aren't renaming at this time.
