Dear All; I ran "sudo dnf install" on google Earth package and got: Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/bin from install of google-earth-stable-7.1.4.1529-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-37.fc24.x86_64 What is solution to that? TIA. =Wawa=
Install rpmrebuild package and run rpmrebuild -e -p /path/google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm.
This will open .spec file of the package. Find line %dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/bin", delete it and save the file.
rpmrebuild will now build a new "valid" package, it should be located in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/google-earth-stable-7.1.4.1529-0.x86_64.rpm (it will print the path).
Simply install it using sudo dnf install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/google-earth-stable-7.1.4.1529-0.x86_64.rpm
(And of course, fill a bug as @skytux suggest. This is a really bad package.)

It is bad packaging because the package owns
/usr/bin/directory. Other than filling a bug report I don't know a workaround.
