can you please provide both SPEC files
i still do not get why there can be any conflict
this is not a common behavior in changed %files section for whatever reason
no longer listed files are supposed to be removed without any noise
-4 spec file:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xflr5.git/tree/xflr5.spec?id=510af4da0...
-5 spec file:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xflr5.git/tree/xflr5.spec
I guess this could be an rpm bug, specifically when a directory is
replaced with a file with the same name when the package is upgraded?
