Re: RPM question

[Jeff Largent <jlargent@imagelinks.com>]

This is caused when more than one package owns thinks it owns a file.
For the most part you only see this when doing something like putting
a mandrake rpm on redhat or suse.  There is no easy way to fix the problem,
rebuild the rpm without that file, or force install on a test box to make
sure replacing that file dosn't cause problems.
