The conflict existed before:
# rpm -qf /usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING
kernel-core-4.15.13-300.fc27.x86_64
kernel-core-4.15.15-300.fc27.x86_64
AFAICT the files were identical, but the content changed between f27:
d7810fab7487fb0aad327b76f1be7cd7 /usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING
and f29:
bbea815ee2795b2f4230826c0c6b8814 ./usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING
(in fact the file is completely different).
This can be traced to upstream's commit "COPYING: use the new text
with points to the license files" from 2018-03-23:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit...
That makes it sound like there is an issue with the spec file for
git
4.1. I'm not familiar enough with packaging to know why this happens,
but I see this file conflict error fairly regularly with other
packages. I don't know what the fix is, though I've seen it repaired.
Should I open a ticket against the kernel, or is this thread in
the kernel mailing list enough?
Please file a bug with the above information.
