Instead of using Conflicts:, try the following: > > * man page name conflicts: Rename the man pages to include a prefix of > the providing package (e.g. foo-check.1.gz vs check.1.gz) IMO, this example is bogus: Man-pages should always be named after what they are trying to document, i.e. section 1 mans must be named after the application. => Documenting /usr/bin/check in a man-page named foo-check.1 because it conflicts with /bin/check's man-page is a no-go. Better, change the man-pages suffix, or change the name of the application and the name of man-page at the same time.
