Ever since I started tracking Fedora 18, Google Music Manager is no
longer installable, and now Oracle's Virtual Box cannot be installed
either (both from upstream Yum repositories).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870655
In both cases, RPM and yum aborts with file conflicts -- /lib/modules
for VirtualBox and /usr/bin for google-musicmanager.
While, granted, these are upstream packaging bugs and those
directories should not be owned by the corresponding packages (they
are owned by filesystem), is there any reason why the same RPMs
install just fine previously?
Just a wild stab in the dark. Would the UsrMove (specifically the change
from an actual folder to a symlink) cause a conflict? The Fedora packages
don't own the folders since they are owned by the filesystem package anyway
but the external packages could be owning the folders even though they ate
now symlinks. Just a guess though.
