Whats your use case ? Are these SUSE (resp. buildservice) packages ? Maybe there are other means to accomplish what you need besides file conflicts.
We're seeing a lot of file conflicts on SUSE Studio from packages within the build service repositories, both conflicts between packages in multiple repositories and conflicts between packages within a single repository, that we're not catching during the dependency resolve stage. For example, a conflict between 'vbam' and 'VisualBoyAdvance' out of the emulators repo: file /etc/VisualBoyAdvance.cfg conflicts between attempted installs of vbam-580svn-1.1 and VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.2-4.3 Ideally we could catch that before actually trying the RPM install. I understand that zypper and yast force the installation, which is why those two packages install side-by-side with them, but we're not keen on taking that approach. -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) http://susestudio.com http://www.novell.com/linux
