There was an incorrect desktop-file-install call in a package I maintain, i.e.

/usr/share/applications/%{name}.desktop/%{name}.desktop

I fixed the syntax (by removing the %{name}.desktop part), but now when 
upgrading the package I get

How can I make the update work smoothly? I tried explicitly specifying Conflicts: 
xflr5 < 5.09.05-5, but it did not
help.
xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64
xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64

why in the world do you specify any conflicts for a ordinary update?

I didn't do it in the package in the repos. It was just something I tried 
locally when trying to find a way to make
the update work, since I ran out of ideas how to solve it otherwise
please describe the *real* problem without hacks

xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64 had an incorrect desktop-file-install call in the 
spec file, namely
desktop-file-install --dir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop 
%{SOURCE1}
which caused the desktop file to get installed to 
/usr/share/applications/xflr5.desktop/xflr5.desktop

In xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64, I fixed the desktop-file-install call to
desktop-file-install --dir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/ %{SOURCE1}
so that the desktop file is correctly installed to
/usr/share/applications/xflr5.desktop

Upgrading from xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64 to xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64 
however fails with
Transaction check error:
   file /usr/share/applications/xflr5.desktop from install of 
xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64
