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.
