Re: Creating RPM with Conflicting Files

You can split the new package into two parts the main and the doc package. Then make the main package require the *file* in question. The doc package would contain the doc files but conflict with the old package.

So if the old package is not installed the doc package is required otherwise not. You could also just make the doc package optional. But I'd still advise to add a manual conflict to the old package so the depsolver can issue an error early.
