描述

When trying to install the 7.1.65 client on a machine with 6.3.23 already installed, the rpm -ivh command fails due to file conflicts. The documentation implies that multiple versions can coexist, but the RPM package structure prevents this for standard binary paths (e.g., /usr/bin/fdbcli).

研究方向
Examine the RPM spec file (likely in packaging/rpm/) to understand how binary files are installed (e.g., path /usr/bin/fdbcli). Compare with the documentation claiming multi version support. Possible fix: modify the spec to install versioned binaries (e.g., fdbcli 7.1) and add symlinks, or update the documentation to clarify the limitation. Check if there are any comments from maintainers indicating preferred approach.
