When updating from KiCad 5 to KiCad 6, a few files have moved from the kicad-doc package to the main kicad package.

If someone has KiCad 5 and its documentation package installed, and then tries to just upgrade the main package to KiCad 6 (without also updating the docs), they get an error message like:

Error: Transaction test error:
    file /usr/share/doc/kicad/scripts/lib_convert.py from install of kicad-1:6.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kicad-doc-1:5.1.12-1.fc35.noarch
    file /usr/share/doc/kicad/scripts/test_kicad_plugin.py from install of kicad-1:6.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kicad-doc-1:5.1.12-1.fc35.noarch

I think the correct solution is to put this into the main package:

Obsoletes: kicad-docs < 6.0.0

Is that correct, or is there a better way to handle it?

No, that will remove kicad-docs entirely from user systems.

What you want is:

Conflicts: kicad-doc < %{epoch}:%{version}-{release}

If you forget the epoch in this comparison, it won't work properly,
since the existing kicad-doc package will resolve as higher.

Also, I recommend using the version and release macros instead of a
static value, because it will ensure that the docs are always updated
to match the binary.

Thanks for the info.  In this case, I don't think it matters too much about the version/release.  It is just that a few files moved from the kicad-doc-5.1.12 package into the kicad-6.0.0 main package.  It shouldn't be a problem going from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1, for example.  A plain "dnf update" should handle that case.

But I'll definitely remember about the epoch - good tip!
