Greetings.
I'm attempting to demonstrate how RPMs will save the developer's butt
by not allowing a file to be overwritten and during my demo, PackageB
overwrites PackageA's file
[root@webd-m01 ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/local/testfile
psi-test-1-dev
psi-retest-2-dev
what did I do wrong?
Nothing, as long as the file is the *same* (content, checksum, permissions,
timestamp, etc), then it's perfectly legal to be owned by multiple pkgs.
If that's the case, and all those things are the same, how can he even
tell it's been overwritten?
