This is to report a minor RPM installation problem. I am running redhat 4.2 and when I try to install the coda client, I get the following error: # rpm -ihv coda-client-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm coda-client /usr/man/man8/shutdown.8 conflicts with file from SysVinit-2.64-8 /usr/man/man8/fsck.8 conflicts with file from e2fsprogs-1.10-0 error: coda-client-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed # It seems clear to me that I can choose to move fsck.8 and shutdown.8 so that the system can be installed. Or I could do --excludedocs to install everything but not the documents (I'll try that for now...) I am open to other suggestions. It seems like it might be better if coda's man pages didn't conflict with the standard man pages. Maybe on could put it into another man directory, or one could call it coda-fsck or something. I could easily see this sort of minor problem causing frustration for some people... -Bradley Prof. Bradley C.
