Yum install of alt-python37-libs conflicts with file from package alt-python37-docopt

The error message you provided indicates a conflict between two packages: alt-python37-libs and alt-python37-docopt. It seems like both packages are trying to install files with the same name or in the same location.

To resolve this conflict, you have a few options:

  1. Remove Conflicting Package:

    • If you don't need both packages, consider removing one of them. Be careful when doing this, as it might affect other software that depends on the package you're removing.
    bash

 

  • yum remove <package-name>
  • Force Installation:

    • You can try to force the installation of one of the packages, but this can potentially lead to conflicts or unexpected behavior. Use this option with caution.
    bash

 

  1. yum install --skip-broken <package-name>
  2. Consult Documentation or Support Resources:

    • Check the documentation or support resources provided by the package maintainers. They might have specific instructions for resolving conflicts like this.
  3. Contact Support:

    • If you're using a specific platform or service, consider reaching out to their support team. They may have specific recommendations or updates related to their environment.
  4. Consider a Different Approach:

    • If possible, consider if there's an alternative solution that doesn't require both packages to be installed. Sometimes, there are workarounds or different software options that can achieve the same result.

Always make sure to have backups of your important data before making significant changes to your system, especially when dealing with package installations or removals. This way, you can recover in case anything goes wrong during the process.
