I was looking for something else and stumbled onto this post from the end of July which I had missed at that time. (Too much good info on this list!)
To fix a collision between util-linux and s390-tools, Karsten Hopp said: > The correct way would be to edit the util-linux.spec file > and rebuild the package with the patched spec file. > Search for /sbin/fdisk in the %files section and either > comment it out or better surround with ifnarch like this: > %ifnarch s390 s390x > /sbin/fdisk > %endif Neat trick. Good to know. But this worries me. IBM needs to figure out if they *really* need a custom 'fdisk' in the S390 Tools kit since they clearly will need "normal FDISK" to support SCSI. I would prefer that the FDISK included in Util-Linux be properly patched than to see two versions of it. If there must be two, then it might be wise to rename the newcomer 'fdisk390'.
