Hello,

we've tried to install postgis for PostgreSQL 16 and 17 on same server. It =
is a server for testing different versions and doing pg_upgrade between. We=
 got an error when we try to install postgis35_17 if postgis34_16 already i=
nstalled:

Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/share/man/man1/postgis_restore.1.gz from install of postgis35_1=
7-3.5.0-1PGDG.rhel8.x86_64 conflicts with file from package postgis34_16-3.=
4.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64

The installation of same PostGIS version (postgis34_17 and postgis34_16) on=
 same server is possible without any conflicts. Only if we try to install P=
ostGIS 3.5 for PostgreSQL 17 anstead of PostGIS 3.4 we got this error. Is t=
his expected in this case or is it a faulty package configuration?

Last years we never had problems with differet PostGIS versions. There are =
installed diffrent postgis version for different postgresql versions on thi=
s server:

$ rpm -qa | grep postgis | sort
postgis31_12-3.1.11-3PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgis31_13-3.1.11-3PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgis31_14-3.1.11-3PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgis33_15-3.3.7-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgis34_16-3.4.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgis34_17-3.4.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
