I have converted Debian package installation to CentOS RPM using alian. I'm getting below error when I try to install it.

Error:

file /etc/init.d from install of <package> conflicts with file from package chkconfig

I can install it by rpm -Uvh --force but I'm getting Not starting : <package> disabled. when I try to start it using init.d.

I'm not sure how to what is the correct path to track the issue. I appreciate some help.

To prevent the conflict you should exclude /etc/init.d from the .spec file. e.g. 

%files
/etc
%exclude %dir /etc/init.d

This will only exclude the /etc/init.d directory. Any files under /etc/init.d/* will still be included.

  • Hi, I tried doing this but it wasn’t able to solve the problem. Im currently on a VM (SSH-in-browser) and I used vim to access the .spec files. Then I followed your comments and it doesn’t seem to work. – Caesar Jan 18 '23 at 23:45
