i am using fedora 12, while i was installing ltsp(Linux terminal server project) server package, it told me that some more packages need to be installed with it as well, while downloading the packages i got the following error -

Local Conflict between packages Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/share/man/man5/dhcp-eval.5.gz from install of dhcp-12:4.1.1-5.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package dhclient-12:4.1.0p1-12.fc12.i686 file /usr/share/man/man5/dhcp-options.5.gz from install of dhcp-12:4.1.1-5.fc12.i686 conflicts with file from package dhclient-12:4.1.0p1-12.fc12.i686

i also deleted all the dhcp packages from man5 directory, even then it is giving the same error msg. please help me with it

It seems you hit file conflict problem in installed dhclient, when install dhcp package. File conflict means that you install package with same file location (e.g /usr/share/man/man5/dhcp-options.5.gz), but different md5sum.

RPM test file conflicts relying on its database and package, not in existing files on filesystem.

Proposed solutions is: 1) If you install packages from vendor repository you should at first check upgrade installed dhclient/dhcp packages (via yum install dhclient dhcp). May be after upgrade md5sum of problem file will match.

2) Also you can deinstall conflicted package - yum remove dhclient. Note, that this command also remove packages, which depends on dhclient package.

3) Also you can try to use rpm --nodeps flags for installing/removing packages, but after such operation system will be inconsistent.
