Fail to install Fedora F31 offical binary package

#1

I downloaded and install TeXmacs-1.99.12.x86_64.rpm from official site. But TeXmacs failed as :

[hf@sword ]$ sudo dnf install TeXmacs-1.99.12.x86_64.rpm
....
Transaction test error:
      file /usr/bin/fig2ps from install of TeXmacs-1.99.12-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package fig2ps-1.5-14.fc31.noarch
      file /usr/share/man/man1/fig2ps.1.gz from install of TeXmacs-1.99.12-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package fig2ps-1.5-14.fc31.noarch

And I found same issue here. It suggests that removed fig2ps from the package and added requires fig2ps.

Hi @WhiteCrow, you are right, I also get that conflict with the rpm packages from texmacs.org. The TeXmacs package in the Fedora repositories have removed fig2ps, as you mention, but unfortunately that build is currently a few versions behind.
I have updated the spec file from the Fedora repos to succesfully build 1.99.18. It’s available from copr here. Feel free to test it and give feedback.
