+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #616399 +++ Description of problem: Attempting to do a wildcard install of both python and perl packages results a file conflict for both python-pip and perl-pip Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-pip 0.6.3-1 & perl-pip 1.16-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install python* perl* 2. 3. Actual results: Running Transaction Test Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/pip conflicts between attempted installs of python-pip-0.6.3-1.fc13.noarch and perl-pip-1.16-1.fc13.noarch Expected results: No conflicts Additional info: --- Additional comment from phalliday on 2010-07-20 14:26:35 EDT --- Well, I think the Debian approach (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551926) should be done here. Both packages should have to rename their /usr/bin/pip. Something like /usr/bin/pip-perl and /usr/bin/pip-python. That way completion will work at least.
Thanks for your bug report. I've created bug report in upstream as stated in our guidelines [1]. Let's wait for a while for their opinion. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Binary_Name_Conflicts
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
No reply from upstream yet and also python pip wasn't still fixed.
I haven't fixed this yet, because I'm waiting to hear what was going to happen with the perl-pip. I doubt they will change, because both parties upstream had this "battle" debian. And the packages had to rename them to pip-perl and pip-python, because neither would change their name. I certainly am willing to make the changes, but I want to make sure both were planned to be changed.
Ok, I read the whole fight about who was here first with pip... It's ridiculous. Let's both change it to python-pip and perl-pip for rawhide. In my case only perl-Padre is using pip and it looks to be working even after rename. Build with fix: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2378618
