file own by 2 packages

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Doing:
rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf
I get
texlive-base-2016-33.20160520.fc26.1.noarch
R-core-3.4.4-1.fc26.x86_64

showing that /usr/share/texmf
belongs to 2 different packages.
How can I remove it from one package?

This gives an issue when I try to update my distribution.

My Best.

You can't.  That's part of the rpm information.  You can file a bug 
(there's sort of one already).  You could modify the rpm file, but that 
won't work for the upgrade.  You could remove R-core, do the upgrade, 
download the new R-core rpm, edit it, then install it.

My recommendation depends on how important it is for you to have R right 
now.  If it's not important, then just remove it and do the upgrade.  If 
it is important, then wait for a response on that bug.  You could maybe 
upgrade to F27 for now if that works.

As an aside, this isn't necessarily a problem.  It's allowed for 
multiple packages to own the same file or directory.  However, all the 
packages have to want the same permissions and for a file the same content.
