*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 704727 ***
I don't believe this a dupe. 704727 is regarding an f14 upgrade to f15, and additionally seems to be an odd one because it's not using the f15 gnome-themes package, which does not conflict with gnome-themes-standard. This bug is entirely internal to Rawhide, and appears to be genuine: as far as I can tell, these are the two latest builds available of both packages (until mclasen just pushed an update to fix this). The files in conflict are also different. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I'm open to anything necessary to resolve this, except blowing the system away and reinstalling it. That is only because we do not run compositions on Rawhide and I am concerned that it will not be possible to restore it by a reinstall.
It occured to me that that update was not entirely clean, it used --skip-broken. It recall tinkering with this some ways, but to no avail. See bug#711635.
I'm sick the endless broken updates. Let someone who cares test this stupid GNOME 3 garbage. rpm -e, bug closed.
Just to teach me a lesson about being nasty in Bugzilla, someone rebuilt the theme packages and gnome-shell, so everything installs now. gnome-desktop3.x86_64 0:3.1.2-1.fc16 gnome-panel.x86_64 0:3.0.2-1.fc16 gnome-panel-devel.x86_64 0:3.0.2-1.fc16 gnome-panel-libs.x86_64 0:3.0.2-1.fc16 gnome-screensaver.x86_64 0:3.0.0-2.fc16 gnome-settings-daemon.x86_64 0:3.1.2-2.fc16 gnome-themes-standard-3.1.2.1-1.fc16 gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc16 Thanks a lot.
