Description

Comes down to the good old "rpm can't replace a directory with a symlink"
problem.
We could just replace the references to the directory in the code with
references to other places, but that would kill off 3rd party applications
expecting them where KDE puts them (which is a lot).
The ideal fix would be removing the KDE versions and replacing them with a
symlink to the "normal" ones, but that's not possible with the current rpm.
Putting in NEEDINFO until rpm is extended to handle this (#61413).
No, a symlink is not the solution at all. Use XML Catalogs. With an XML Catalog, a URI like http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl is translated into the appropriate local filename. So you can have a (minimal) customization layer that just references the above URI (or one like it) and have everything just work, so long as your XSLT processor understands XML Catalogs (and libxslt does). 'Red Hat Raw Hide' refers to the development tree for Red Hat Linux. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues were not resolved in a more timely manner. However, we do want to make sure that important don't slip through the cracks. If these issues are still present in a current release, such as Fedora Core 5, please move these bugs to that product and version. Note that any remaining Red Hat Raw Hide bugs will be closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
