Running fc20 64 bit. Downloaded google earth from: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html and at bottom of page, you select the 64 bit rpm, and save it.
yum -y localinstall google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64
Yum downloaded 34 dependencies, then it burped:
Transaction check error: file /usr/bin from install of google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-19.fc20.x86_64
Obviously, the packager blew it somehow with respect to dependencies.
How do I get around it without "forcing" anything?

I thought the downloaded file was called google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm.....
Anyway, the way I've gotten this to work is to use "rpmrebuild".
rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
When "vi" comes up find the line....
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/bin"
And then delete it and :wq! followed by "y" and a new rpm will be written out for you to used.

It is indeed called that when you download it. Unfortunately, I was a bit too lazy to copy and paste the file name again, after I had copied the error message.
So, I did user rpmrebuild, per your suggestion, and it ended up creating google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64.rpm and it installed without a hitch. Thanx Ed!!! Nice tool, which should be included in the package rpmdevtools-8.4-2.fc20.noarch but it is not.
So, it turns out that google renames the rpm file from google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64.rpm to google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm when they release it.
