New subject: [trinity-users] Fedora 17 Package Conflicts

29 Jul 2013


      Recent Fedora 17 yum updates are failing.
Failure report reads:
file ...(various files)... from install of
trinity-hal-info-20091130-1.fc17.noarch conflicts with
   file from package hal-info-20090716-4.fc17.noarch
files affected include:
.../10freedesktop/
          10-laptop-panel-hardware.fdi
          10-modem.fdi
          10-usb-card-readers.fdi
          10-usb-music-players.fdi
          20-vidio-quirk-pm-acer.fdi
          20-vidio-quirk-pm-asus.fdi
          20-vidio-quirk-pm-hp.fdi
          20-vidio-quirk-pm-ibm.fdi
          20-vidio-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi
          20-vidio-quirk-pm-sony.fdi
          30-keymap-hp.fdi
          30-keymap-misc.fdi
The trinity-hal-info package is nominally from the repo:
    trinity-3.5.13-noarch
The hal-info package is nominally from the repo:
    trinity-extras-noarch
There is also a disconnect between Fedora Release values: hal-info  
reports as  Release 4.fc17; trinity-hal-info reports as Release 1.fc17.
Note there are crossconflicts in both file size and date, so I  
hesitated to just pick one.
Problem is not occuring on current Scientific Linux updates.
Don't know if this affects other Fedora versions.
If its not a quickfix, any suggested workarounds would be appreciated.
Thanks for Trinity
Really Really Thanks
