Recommendation on conflict RPM installation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Issue
- Have a scenario where two RPMs bring the same file to the system. In this case the installation fails with error
"XYZ" from install of ‘ABC' conflicts with file from package "PQR"
- Is there any way to let the installation proceed with the second file overwriting the first file? Or is it recommended to avoid any chance of such conflicts?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0
- rpm
