2025-05-17T21:13:37+1000 CRITICAL Error: Transaction test error:
file /usr/bin/rhino conflicts between attempted installs of
rhino-1.7.14-14.fc42.noarch and nut-2.8.3-1.fc42.x86_64
Turns out both packages contain a file with this name but not in the same
directory.
Is this a bin vs sbin artifact?
the nut package includes /usr/sbin/rhino
Driver for Brazilian Microsol RHINO UPS equipment
the rhino package includes /usr/bin/rhino
invokes the JavaScript shell for running scripts in batch mode or
interactive
I decided to remove the package 'rhino' which did not remove anything else (so
nobody needs it?).
maybe other programs need /usr/bin/rhino but fail to declare the dependency. I
can add rhino later if required.
I need 'nut' and do not want to remove it.
What is the correct way to resolve this problem?
Can I leave rhino installed but exclude it from the upgrade?
Tomorrow I will do the upgrade reboot and hope all goes well.
It is now Tomorrow and the upgrade was done. So far it looks OK.
I raised the issue on the relevant lists and it should be resolved in due time.
I still wonder which package actually uses rhino as everything seems to work
after I removed it.
