i have a default fc7 t3 installation (x64) and than i just updated and those errors are popping up. and i indeed have 2 hal and pam packages installed.. i386 and x86_64 (don`t know why linux wants to install both architectures) i now did (the forced way i was talking about earlyer): rpm -e hal.i386 --nodeps rpm -e pam.i386 --nodeps yum -y update than worked perfectly. and this wasn`t a bug that i could not solve :) it`s more meant as a "bug report" but i don`t find this worth posting on bugzilla so i made a notice of it here. <div>2007/4/5, KH KH <<a href="mailto:kwizart@gmail.com">kwizart@gmail.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 2007/4/5, Mark <<a href="mailto:markg85@gmail.com">markg85@gmail.com</a>>: > Hey, > > yesterday my pc spend a few hours downloading about 230 updates (from Test > 3) and it ended up with ERRORS!!!!! > > Error Summary > ------------- > > [root@localhost ~]# yum -y update > > > Transaction Check Error: > file /usr/share/man/man5/namespace.conf.5.gz from install > of pam-0.99.7.1-4.fc7 conflicts with file from package pam-0.99.7.1-3.fc7 > file /usr/share/man/man8/pam_namespace.8.gz from install > of pam-0.99.7.1-4.fc7 conflicts with file from package pam-0.99.7.1-3.fc7 > file /usr/share/man/man8/pam_selinux.8.gz from install of > pam-0.99.7.1-4.fc7 conflicts with file from package pam-0.99.7.1-3.fc7 > file /usr/share/hal/fdi/fdi.dtd from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts > with file from package hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-acer.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20- > video-quirk-pm-apple.fdi from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file > from package hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20- video-quirk-pm-asus.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-dell.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-fujitsu.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20- > video-quirk-pm-hp.fdi from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file > from package hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-ibm.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-misc.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-sony.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20- > video-quirk-pm-toshiba.fdi from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with > file from package hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keyboard-policy.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-power-mgmt-policy.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-toshiba-buttons.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-acl-management.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > file > /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi > from install of hal-0.5.9-1.fc7 conflicts with file from package > hal-0.5.9-0.git20070304.fc7 > > Error Summary > ------------- > > that`s it for the errors. > i can probably bypass the errors by simply remove the existing packages with > force :P > > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > <a href="mailto:fedora-devel-list@redhat.com">fedora-devel-list@redhat.com</a> > <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list </a> > Hi!
