True, we don't yet have a mechanism whereby you can indicate that package X conflicts with package Y, but if package X would overwrite any files in package Y, you'd get an error (warning, really) installing X, and you'd have to force it. We're working on conflicts and dependencies in rpm version 2. Of course, none of this works if the two packages come from different package systems. > Make a backup first. Absolutely. -Marc
