This prevented installing podman when docker-ce was installed and based on the filenames, I am inclined to say that this is pure-podman fault. These man pages should not be in conflict, or at least be provided by th podoman-docker package instead of podman-manpages.

I am not sure who’s in chage to fix here because I know that currently the rpm building made by libpod project itself does not produce podman-manpages for some other reasons.

Does anyone know some workarounds to make them co-exist?

Workaround for people on or updating to CentOS 8.1:

Uninstall podman before updating it sudo yum -y remove podman and install it back w/o manpages:

# install all podman dependencies except podman-manpages
sudo yum -y install oci-systemd-hook libvarlink

# and install podman w/o dependencies
sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps $(repoquery --location podman)

PS. When fixed, please provide podman packages to centos-stream so that people who enable centos-stream repos (via sudo yum -y install centos-release-stream) could solve their podman / docker confict without above workaround.

@matihost It works.

remove podman and install docker ce.

sudo yum -y remove podman

Same issue in debian + ubuntu packages work around is sudo apt install -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" podman

jrabbit on Jan 26, 2020

Not sure why there is a podman-manpages separate package, I am fine with moving these into the main podman package. If people want smaller packages they could just tell the package not to install docs, which I believe would remove man pages.

rhatdan on Jan 6, 2020

@afbjorklund Maybe it makes sense to just make manpages part of the respective packages themselves (at least this is what common sense tells me). Then podman and podman-docker would be also split man-page content-wise and there won’t be any surprise as in “No manual entry found podman” found.

jnovy on Jan 6, 2020

The original suggestion, of moving the manpages from podman-manpages to podman-docker should fix both conflicts… I guess the user can decide, if they want to install podman-docker or the docker-xx-cli ?

But there is no reason why the regular podman shouldn’t be able to co-exist with a docker installation. The “podman-manpages” should probably only have the man pages for the “podman” package itself.

afbjorklund on Jan 6, 2020

@jnovy @rhatdan maybe we should put these into podman-docker or create another subpackage called podman-docker-manpages ?
