Bug ID: 1304728 Summary: golang-bin & gcc-go both "own" /usr/bin/go. Product: Fedora Version: 22 Component: golang Severity: medium Assignee: vbatts@redhat.com Reporter: john.archie.mckown@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: admiller@redhat.com, amurdaca@redhat.com, golang@lists.fedoraproject.org, jcajka@redhat.com, lemenkov@gmail.com, renich@woralelandia.com, s@shk.io, vbatts@redhat.com
Description of problem: The /usr/bin/go program is "owned" (rpm -qf /usr/bin/go) by both gcc-go and golang-bin. It appears that these two packages should be mutually exclusive, or install to different directories.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce: 1.dnf install golang-bin gcc-go 2.rpm -qf /usr/bin/go 3.
Actual results:
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/go gcc-go-5.3.1-2.fc22.x86_64 golang-bin-1.5.3-1.fc22.x86_64
Expected results:
Only one "owner".

--- Comment #1 from Jakub Čajka jcajka@redhat.com --- This is expected as "go" binaries uses Fedora Alternatives https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives. It is just symlink pointing to "correct" go binary, basically allowing you to switch back and forth between them without need to re/un/install the packages.
