RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

--- Additional comment from atodorov on 2010-10-20 14:02:24 EEST ---

For the conflicting documentation files see bug #449731 (RHEL4) - it requested that rpm ignores file conflicts under /usr/share/doc to work around several multilib conflicts on ia64.
Comment 1 Ric Wheeler 2010-12-01 18:01:20 UTC 
Is this something for the NFS team to fix, or something for rpm developers?
Comment 2 Alexander Todorov 2010-12-02 08:54:55 UTC 
Ric,
those kinds of errors is something that package maintainers need to fix usually. The reference to rpm was FYI.

Can you tell why those files are different between arches and what's their role in the package? Based on that we can decide on a course of action.

event-config.h and Makefile have arch specific info (I imagine they're generated by configure)

doxygen.sty and refman.tex have different timestamps.  I imagine we can reduce these timestamps to day resolution (from second resolution) and that will (usually) fix the problem.

IDK about event-config.h, I guess we can have event-config.h conditionally include event-config-%{_arch}.h, and the same with the sample makefile?

I'll attach the diff.

#477685 is a duplicate of this, BTW (and both #634919 and #550844 are related).  Oh, I'm on Fedora 15, but see the same thing

Hello Bobby,
Thanks much for you comment.
I created bug 810138 as clone of this one only for Fedora, not to mix it with rhel6 release.
Comment 21 Steve Dickson 2012-04-23 13:58:56 UTC 
Changing back to MODIFY since the current breaks the nfs-utils build.
