All,
I'm on poky/dizzy-1.7.3 and I'm using opkg for a package manager. I have a few
script files that are part of one package that really belong with another. So
I updated both recipes, removed the file from one recipe and added it to the
other recipe. I built everything, made the opkg feed repo and tried to upgrade
with "opkg update; opkg upgrade" to see how clean the upgrade was. For each
script file I moved from one package to the other I get an error message of the
form:
* check_data_file_clashes: Package A wants to install file /path/to/script/file
But that file is already provided by package * B
I know I can do "opkg upgrade --force-overwrite", but I'd like to make recipe
changes so that it upgrades cleanly. All I've done in the recipes is remove
the script files from the FILES variable and the do_install step of one recipe
and added the script to the FILES variable and do_install step of the other
recipe. I know update-alternatives can be used if more than one package
provides the same binary, but is that necessary in this case when transferring
ownership to another package? Is there anything else I can do in the recipes
to prevent the opkg install errors?
Thanks,
Bryan
