Running fc20 64 bit.
Downloaded google earth from:
http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html
and at bottom of page, you select the 64 bit rpm,
and save it.

yum -y localinstall google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64

Yum downloaded 34 dependencies, then it burped:


Transaction check error:
  file /usr/bin from install of google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-19.fc20.x86_64

Obviously, the packager blew it somehow with respect to dependencies.

How do I get around it without "forcing" anything?


I thought the downloaded file was called google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm.....

Anyway, the way I've gotten this to work is to use "rpmrebuild".

rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

When "vi" comes up find the line....

%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/bin"

And then delete it and :wq! followed by "y" and a new rpm will be written out for you to used.
