Here is a fake package: http://www.di.ens.fr/~rineau/Fedora/foobar.spec (only a spec file, no source). This package foobar owns %{_datadir}/foobar/ and creates an empty file in it. A subpackage foobar-subpackage owns %{_datadir}/foobar/plugins/ and creates an empty file in the latter. As far as I understand the Fedora Extras Guidelines, this is correct. However, if i compile and install then uninstall the two packages at once, the directory %{_datadir}/foobar/ remains, and rpm says no package owns it (after the uninstallation). It is fixed if foobar-subpackage owns %{_datadir}/foobar/ too. However, according to the guidelines: "Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages." Who is wrong, the guideline, my version of rpm, or me? My version-release of rpm is 4.4.2-15.2, on fc-5. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
