Well, sure, but the rule in the beginning always was "Extras packages don't conflict or replace packages from Core". Well, it seems it got lost on the way. I'm wondering if we should put it back, but I tend to think that's worth the trouble as Core and Extras might merge by FC7 in any case.
I've always interperated this: MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. as conflicts should be avoided. I've even filed bug reports: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201279 -Mike _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
