xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64 had an incorrect desktop-file-install call in the spec file,
namely
desktop-file-install --dir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop
%{SOURCE1}
which caused the desktop file to get installed to
/usr/share/applications/xflr5.desktop/xflr5.desktop
In xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64, I fixed the desktop-file-install call to
desktop-file-install --dir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/ %{SOURCE1}
so that the desktop file is correctly installed to
/usr/share/applications/xflr5.desktop
Upgrading from xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64 to xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64 however fails
with
Transaction check error:
file /usr/share/applications/xflr5.desktop from install of xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64
conflicts with file from
package xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64
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
