I have an Athlon/64, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB IDE system and I'm intending to use it 
for combination workstation/Dev server duties. 

I've gotten a consistent failure when I try to groupinstall KDE. After 
grinding through all the deps, it comes up with the below: 

Install    228 Package(s)
Update       0 Package(s)
Remove       0 Package(s)
Total download size: 331 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Downloading Packages:
Running Transaction Test
Finished Transaction Test


Transaction Check Error:   file /usr/share/man/man1/asn1parse.1ssl.gz from

conflicts with file from package fontconfig-2.2.3-7

It appears that packages openssl and fontconfig are conflicting with 
themselves! (?!?) 

This is a clean, minimal install of CentOS 4.3/64, (installed with all 
optional packages unchecked, so only disk 1 was needed) I haven't even done a 
yum update, but that doesn't change anything when I try it. (I've now wiped 
it twice to try to figure out what I'm missing. Both packages are already 
installed, with the versions complained about... 

I've tried running rpm --rebuilddb, and yum clean all to no positive change. 

What's going on here? What can I try from here?
