xulrunner conflcits due to exist sysconf file in lib package.

xulrunner in its lib package haves this file:

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/xulrunner-64.conf

Its not a good idea to have a system file in a lib package, and of course there exist conflicts when the lib name changes when upgrading:

Preparing...                     ###########################################################################
Installation failed:    file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/xulrunner-64.conf from install of lib64xulrunner6.0-6.0-1.mga2.x86_64 conflicts with file from package lib64xulrunner5.0.1-5.0.1-2.mga2.x86_64

I also think thats not a good idea to obsolete/conflict the lib from a previous release just to fix this, since the user should be able to have both libs.

Comment 2 D Morgan 2011-08-21 15:10:36 CEST

fixed now in svn for cauldron.

But as this is a cauldron/cauldron issue  you will have to do :

rpm -e --nodeps lib64xulrunner5.0.1 && urpmi lib64xulrunner6.0

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 3 José Melo 2011-08-21 19:01:21 CEST

You can use: urpmi --allow-force (this way the user is queried about)

or simply use: urpmi --force

Comment 4 José Melo 2011-08-21 19:07:01 CEST

But the problem is about the file being in lib package.

Comment 5 D Morgan 2011-08-21 20:49:43 CEST

yes but it is versionned now, so the pb should be fixed .

Comment 6 José Melo 2011-08-21 21:01:28 CEST

Great, but why put a system file in a lib package ?
