VirtualBox 6.1.14 install fails on RedHat family

[luisg.muniz]

Can not install VirtualBox using the repository:

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo
[virtualbox]
name=Yum Repository
baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
fastestmirror_enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc

#  dnf install -y VirtualBox-6.1
[...]
Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/bin/VBox conflicts between attempted installs of VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64 and VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.38_136252_fedora29-1.x86_64
[...]

The same problem appears with several distros (Fedora 30, Fedora 29, CentOS 7.7) and with several versions of the package (VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4, VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.2, VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.18)

Looks like VirtualBox-5.2 is attempted to be installed alongside VirtualBox-6.x, as a dependency, and both packages clashes.

Seems very similar to issue #18924

I forgot to mention that the error message is shown 464 times (for every file in the package?).

Also, I've just noticed this error while trying to install:

 Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
  - nothing provides libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.29)(64bit) needed by VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64
  - nothing provides libvpx.so.6()(64bit) needed by VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.4_136177_fedora31-1.x86_64

The status 'awaits feedback' is for when information is missing from the submitter of the bug in order to further process a bug, this is not the case here right now, clearing.

Did this erro happen on a Fedora 31 host? The complaint is about the Fedora 31 package but in the desciption you talked about Fedora 30/29?

I did not see such problem when installing the 6.1.4 RPM packages directly on Fedora 31.
