-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm using the Fedora 17 build of VirtualBox-4.2 on the Fedora 18 pre-release, and after working for several weeks, now it can no longer be updated (on an existing installation) or installed (on a freshly installed and updated system).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870655 In both cases, RPM and yum aborts with file conflicts -- /lib/modules is owned by both VirtualBox and the filesystem package. According to discussion on the Fedora development list, RPM has indeed become stricter about checking for such conflicts -- different packages may own the same directory only if they list the directory with the same owner and permissions (though it's considered bad form, esp if one of the package is a base package such as filesystem; the other packages should just take that directory's existence for granted). Could this be rectified? You simply need to remove the line "/lib/modules" from the spec's %files section - it should be safe to apply this to the specs for all Fedora (and SUSE) releases.
