centos 7.3 docker-engine conflicts with docker-common-2

After following the official installation document below https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/centos/

I still end up with failure with docker-common-2 transaction conflict

Transaction check error: file /usr/bin/docker from install of docker-engine-1.13.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64 conflicts with file from package docker-common-2:1.10.3-59.el7.centos.x86_64

I tried yum remove docker-common-2 immediately but apparently there is no such package found so I yum clean all but the failure is still there. I had encountered that selinux conflict before and I did remove conflict the package docker-selinux if it is the case.

How can I solve this?

OK I managed to solve it by myself. I searched for docker-common instead of docker-common-2 and I found that conflict package. It should be installed from centos yum repos so just yum remove -y docker-common to remove it before you install docker-engine

Try the following:

step 1: sudo yum erase docker

step 2: sudo yum clean all

and then, Install the required packages,

step 3: sudo yum install docker-common-2
