When I run sudo dnf update, it seems that podman cannot be updated. I got this error message:
Error: Transaction test error:
file /usr/share/man/man5/containers-mounts.conf.5.gz from install of podman-2:2.1.1-12.fc33.x86_64 conflicts with file from package containers-common-1:1.2.0-8.fc33.x86_64
I removed podman to allow other packages to be updated. When I tried to reinstall podman, I got the same error message again. Is this a bug?
I am not sure what podman is used for. Will it be OK if my F33 does not have podman? Does that affect other packages?
Podman is a tool to run containers, like Docker if you are familiar with it.
Error: Transaction test error:
file /usr/share/man/man5/containers-mounts.conf.5.gz from install of podman-2:2.1.1-12.fc33.x86_64 conflicts with file from package containers-common-1:1.2.0-8.fc33.x86_64
This is because there is an update for containers-common package, but it conflicts with the podman package installed on the system. Upcoming podman update will probably solve the issue. Other people have experiencing the same issue:
I got the same error, but for containers-common. It looks like that update is mainly for updating the names of man pages! And, that’s what the error is for. I tried renaming the offending man page in containers-common, but I still get the error.
rpmfusion repos (free and non-free) provide a lot of cool stuff that is not included in Fedora (vlc, ffmpeg, audio and video codes, binary wifi drivers, …)
