If it doesn't, you can always forcefully install the package like so: # rpm --force /path/to/package.rpm But that's obviously not guaranteed to work (correctly). Then there are the --no* CLI options to rpm(8) (e.g. --nofiles) which you can try as well, but I'm not familiar with those very much (yet). Other than that, this seems like a problem with the package itself, so if it doesn't "magically" resolve itself after a while (e.g. with the next httpd24 update), you can always file a bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=softwarecollections.org Good luck! -- Michal Domonkos / RPM Software Engineer & SST Lead / Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
