--- Comment #7 from Richard W.M. Jones rjones@redhat.com 2009-11-24 05:06:10 EDT --- Another thought:
Shouldn't RPM be able to install the files anyway unless they are different?
The binutils & mingw32-binutils packages would have identical upstream source and hence identical files, *unless* one of the packages was patching the source files.
It turns out that binutils patches the following source files: bfd/elfcode.h bfd/section.c ld/ldmain.c
mingw32-binutils doesn't patch any files. (But should it do?)
The list of files doesn't quite match the conflicting files reported in comment 0, although it is fairly similar.
