RPM install file conflict from previous install
27,187
you cannot install twice the same rpm. Therefore if you want to install a newer version of the same rpm (mypackage in your case); you need to use the -U | --upgrade
option. Typical usage of rpm
goes like this:
rpm -Uvh mypackage-<new-version>.rpm
-U
: upgrade mypackage to this version-vh
: nice display of progress.

I am getting install failure due to file conflicts. I am facing this issue only on Red Hat Linux 7. Same spec file works on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
I tried putting echo on
%pre
,%post
,%preun
and%postun
sections but I never reached those messages. I tried%dump
at the beginning of spec file which also didn't print anything. How do I trace the spec file execution?%files %defattr(-,root,root,-) @CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX@/sbin/MyExe @CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/doc/@CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME@/myconf.conf @CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX@/share/doc/@CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME@/README %if @IS_RHEL7@ /etc/systemd/system/myoverride.conf %endif
Error during install:
Preparing packages... file /etc/systemd/system/myoverride.conf from install of mypackage-5.0.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mypackage-4.11.1.x86_64 file /usr/sbin/myexe from install of mypackage-5.0.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mypackage-4.11.1.x86_64

Admin over 6 yearsWhat method of installation are you using? I mean
rpm
oryum
? -
Admin over 6 yearsI am using rpm, I do not want to use -U option for upgrade or --force or --replaceFiles etc. I want it to handle the upgrade itself.

hexbit1 over 6 yearsBoth rpms have different version of the config and installer, they include changes in configuration file and exe. I need to upgrade both with this install.

Chris Maes over 6 yearsIf you want to install both rpms you'll need to rename one of them because you cannot install two rpms with the same name
