New issue 23804 by eric.rannaud: RPM, Fedora 11: package conflicts in  
dependencies with GConf2-dbus
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23804

Chrome Version       : google-chrome-unstable-4.0.220.1-27713.i386.rpm
OS + version : Linux Fedora 11
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): x86_64


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up Yum repository
2. yum install google-chrome-unstable


What happens instead?

--> Processing Conflict: GConf2-2.26.2-1.fc11.x86_64 conflicts GConf2-dbus
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
GConf2-2.26.2-1.fc11.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems
   --> GConf2 conflicts with GConf2-dbus
Error: GConf2 conflicts with GConf2-dbus


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot
and backtrace if possible.

google-chrome-unstable depends on 'libgconf-2.so.4', which in F11 is
provided by GConf2-2.26.2-1.fc11.i586 and GConf2-dbus-2.16.0-16.fc11.i586.
An up-to-date Fedora install will use GConf2. GConf2-dbus is the first
package to come up with 'yum provides libgconf-2.so.4', Yum attempts to
install it, but that creates a conflict with the already installed GConf2.

A workaround is to run:

     yum install -x GConf2-dbus google-chrome-unstable

It forces Yum to use GConf2.


This is probably a bug in Fedora, as I believe it is not proper for two
distinct packages to provide the exact same library (unless one is an
update of the other). However, Fedora seems to think they have fixed the
problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492636

I report the problem here so that Chromium users that hit this issue can at
least use the workaround.
