In that case, ouch. The same conflict applies to all font packages. Its root is here http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-January/msg00918.html (A newer version of fontconfig did not create .font-cache-1 or .font-cache-2 in the home directories, so ghosting of those files was removed. The introduction of the Conflict came instead of Requires: th e newer fontconfig). The spec file change was copy-pasted from one font package to most (all?) others. I suspect the correct thing to do was to add a Requires: fontconfig >= 2.3.93 instead of the Conflicts:. Is that correct?
