[Mono-list] gtksourceview-sharp / gtksourceview conflict on Fedora Core 3

[Danny Brugman]

Hi Thomas,

I encountered the exact same problem. The conflicting file
is 'vbnet.lang', which contains the syntax highlighting
definitions for the VB.NET language. This is used by 'gedit',
for example.

This file can safely be overridden by the one provided by
the 'gtksourceview-sharp-0.5-1.novell.9.1' package. Just
use the '-f' option of rpm to force an install, and overwrite
the file. It worked for me.

Kind regards,

Danny Brugman
