Hopefully this forum is okay for this question...

I was hoping to upgrade the util-linux package for advisory
RHSA-2002:132-14 (http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-132.html)

rebuilt util-linux from src.rpm, went to install
# rpm -Uhv util-linux-2.11f-17.7.2.s390.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
file /sbin/fdisk from install of util-linux-2.11f-17.7.2 conflicts with
file from package s390utils-20011109-6

/sbin/fdisk is just a symlink to /sbin/fdasd, provided by s390utils
(installed from a redhat built s390.rpm).
Would removing the symlink, rpm -Uhv --force, and then re-replacing
fdisk with the symlink be a bad idea?
What's the rpm-friendly way?  (I'd rather use the tool correctly)

Thanks for any guidance,
~ Daniel
