Severe RPM bug, causing file removel, FC-6 showstopper?

[Hans de Goede]

Hi,

A couple of days ago someone posted that when removing i386 versions of 
packages of which he had both an x86_64 and i386 version, caused doc 
files and po files to be removed, evne though the x86_64 version was 
still installed, so I expected to find something about this in BZ, but 
found nothing.

I just saw rpm remove files owned by multiple package versions when only 
one version gets removed :( This is really bad IMHO.

Here is what happened:
1) I did yum -y update
2) It took long and I needed my computer for something else, so I did
    CTRL-C while it was updating
3) Thus it had 2 versions of fedora-release-notes installed, as it never
    got to the cleanup part
4) I fixed this with "rpm -e fedora-release-notes-5.92-5" (the old ver)
5) When I started firefox it said it couldn't find:
    /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html

I filed this in BZ as:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209306

Regards,

Hans
