A fellow was trying to install Tux Paint and when he went to install
SDL_ttf on his Red Hat box (he grabbed the RPM off of www.libsdl.org)
and tried to install it, he got an error about a file conflict:
file /usr/bin/showfont from install of SDL_ttf-2.0.5-1 conflicts
with file from package kbd-1.06-21
D'oh! I've seen "showfont" elsewhere. (I have one on my Debian box,
which is NOT the SDL_ttf one; it's an Xlib app.)
LIM on IRC suggested some "--excludepath" option to "rpm," which I'll suggest
to the poor fellow trying to install all of this. In the meantime, though,
should this be dealt with at the SDL_ttf RPM end of things? (Like, don't
include it, or name it something different?)
