You have to see this in connection with the sentence "The directories /opt/bin, /opt/doc, /opt/include, /opt/info, /opt/lib, and /opt/man are reserved for local system administrator use." So if the packages don't use these directories, they won't rewrite anything. -- Regards, Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
