In Fedora 41 I used alien to convert the security application in DEB format provided by my bank to RPM. I installed the application, called warsaw, accessing internet banking normally. With the launch of Fedora 42 (kde) I decided to do a clean installation of the new system, aiming to correct a small bug in the krusader file manager, my favorite. When trying to install warsaw on the new OS, an error occurred due to a conflict in the versions of the filesystem app, as per the message transcribed below:
Internal error: Error executing transaction: the /lib file of the warsaw-2.21.4-4.x86_64 installation conflicts with the file of the filesystem-3.18-36.fc42.x86_64 package
the /usr/bin file of the warsaw-2.21.4-4.x86_64 installation conflicts with the file of the filesystem-3.18-36.fc42.x86_64 package.
I wonder if there is any way to get around this error so that I can continue to access my bank account?
Try this way:
sudo rpm -i --force /path/to/package.rpm
Thanks for your help. With the “–force” option, the application was installed but was not recognized by the bank’s server.
Unlike my desktop PC, where I use Fedora, my laptop has Kubuntu as the operating system. Both systems had updates released simultaneously, and the same thing happened on Kubuntu 25.04, with the bank’s original “.deb” package, which was the basis for the “.rpm” package I created with alien.
So, I had to downgrade the OS on both devices, on the PC from Fedora 42 to 41 and on the notebook from Kubuntu 25.04 to 24.04.
