Description Nathan O'Brennan 2018-11-04 04:41:42 CET

I install Fedora using the network installer and choose the minimal install version. Afterwards I use a custom script that install my selection of packages using dnf. My script adds the rpmfusion repos, both free and non-free, then attempts to install freetype-freeworld, but it fails stating that freetype is already installed.

I had to manually do the following

`rpm -e --nodeps freetype`
`dnf mark remove freetype`

Then I could install freetype-freeworld using 

`dnf install freetype-freeworld --repo=rpmfusion`

When attempting to use just `dnf install freetype-freeworld` dnf would attempt to install the Fedora package, not the rpmfusion version.

My understanding is this is a specfile problem with your package?

freetype-freeworld is obsolete and no longer needed, see:

(It is no longer needed because the latest Fedora 29 freetype update is now built with subpixel antialiasing enabled. The bytecode interpreter has already been enabled for several releases. There are no remaining features with patent issues.)

Thanks a lot!
