This can happen if the file type of gnucash-guide and gnucash-help changed between versions (between regular file, symlink, or directory, for instance).  The fix is to have a %pretrans script remove the old entity before the upgraded package gets installed.

Comment 2 Pierre Fortin 2014-01-18 19:06:52 CET
I only use gnucash (been using it for many years), so no need to mess with guide or help.
# rpm -qa | grep gnucash
python-gnucash-2.6.0-1.mga4
gnucash-2.5.8-3.mga4
lib64gnucash0-2.6.0-1.mga4
Trying to uninstall gnucash 2.5.8 via mcc wants to uninstall all three, so I let it; then installed 2.6.0...
Comment 3 David Walser 2014-01-23 19:48:58 CET
/usr/share/gnome/help/gnucash-{guide,help} don't exist in the Mageia 3 version of the gnucash package, so this won't affect people upgrading from Mageia 3, it would have only affected people updating the package in Cauldron from 2.5.8 to 2.6.0 as you did.  Because of that, this won't be addressed in the package.  Thanks for the report though.
