I'm trying to upgrade my current FLIRC package using the following command
rpm -Uhv flirc-1.2.6-2.i386.rpm
and it produces the following error / conflicts
Preparing... ################################# [100%] file / from install of flirc-1.2.6-2.i386 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-19.fc20.i686 file /lib from install of flirc-1.2.6-2.i386 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-19.fc20.i686 file /usr/bin from install of flirc-1.2.6-2.i386 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.2-19.fc20.i686
is this the latest and is there a packaging problem here?
That's the latest RPM I could find too. It's old and I got the same errors you did. Here's what I did to create a working (and current) version:
- Download the latest DEB file that matches your architecture here: http://apt.flirc.tv/arch. For example, for 64 bit at this time that's http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x64/binary/flirc_1.3.2-1_amd64.deb.
- Convert it to an RPM with alien: sudo alien -r flirc_1.3.2-1_amd64.deb
- Remove the unnecessary and conflicting entries: rpmrebuild -p --change-spec-files="grep -i flirc" flirc-1.3.2-2.x86_64.rpm
That command will create a new rpm that should install cleanly and seems to work fine for me. I'm on Fedora 21 64-bit.
Are there any updated RPMs?

I'm still on Fedora 21, planning to skip to 23 when it comes out (any day now). Try following my instructions here:
