Transaction check error installing local rpms

Question

I try to install two springBoot module with rpm, this is the error I get:

  file /path/config/application.yaml from install of master-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.noarch conflicts with file from package worker-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.noarch
  file /path/config/log4j2.xml from install of master-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.noarch conflicts with file from package worker-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.noarch

Can somebody explain why this is a problem and what to do.

Answer 1

Problem is that both packages master-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT and worker-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT try to deploy same file ( application.yaml and log4j2.xml ) into same directory ( /path/config ).

In RPM (and possibly any other packaging system) no package can overwrite a file owned by other package.

To resolve the problem you can:

• add component name to the deployment path (say /path/master/config or /path/worker/config ) so that each component has it's own set of deployed files.
• if you intend to share configuration between components and have them both use same config file, factor the configuration into a third package (eg config-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT )
