They are basically exactly the same file, just provided by two packages.
This is because both Emacs and Texinfo offer an info reader.
Is this a problem? Surely there must be other instances of this kind of
thing, and rpm must have a way to deal with this?
This issue is not new BTW, you're just noticing it now because prior to
Emacs 24.3, the Emacs version of the file was called "info" and the
Texinfo version was called "info.info". Eg on a RHEL 6.4 system I have
both:
rpm -qf /usr/share/info/info.gz
emacs-common-23.1-21.el6_2.3.x86_64
rpm -qf /usr/share/info/info.info.gz
info-4.13a-8.el6.x86_64
Since Emacs 24.3 the Emacs version is also called "info.info". Thus the
situation is actually better than it used to be, because now you don't
get two copies of the same file.
