[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] 4.5.1: rpm cannot replace directory by file on upgrade (#964)

[Tomasz Kłoczko]

I made some test unit for that issue.
test-replace-directory-1.0 package has in /mnt/file directory /mnt/file/file. Than 2.0 has only /mnt/file file.

Here is result:

<pre>[root at barrel RPMS]# rpm -ivh test-replace-directory-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

[root at barrel RPMS]# rpm -Uvh test-replace-directory-2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

	file /mnt/file from install of test-replace-directory-2.0-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package test-replace-directory-1.0-1.x86_64
