Trying to install dmd-2.061-0.fedora.x86_64.rpm on Fedora 18 fails with the
following error message:

Transaction Check Error:
  file / from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64
  file /usr/bin from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64
  file /usr/lib from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64
  file /usr/lib64 from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64

I believe this is caused by yum/rpm being more fussy about such things and
should be fixable by a small change to the spec file used to build the rpm.
Basically, don't list directories in %files (only files) unless the directory
is exclusive to your package and will be deliberately empty.

I tried using yum's --tolerant switch but the installation still failed.
