But you also have the 0.67-10 devel rpm and that needs the 0.67-10 rpm. In other words, you have: gnumeric-0.67-10 gnumeric-devel-0.67-10 You want to upgrade with: gnumeric-1.0.5 It won't let you because the devel version needs the same version. Since you aren't uninstalling it, it would be left behind. It isn't consistent with the new rpm for gnumeric and generates an error saying so. You have two options. you can either try to find gnumeric-devel-1.0.5 and upgrade that at the same time, or you can uninstall gnumeric-devel and then upgrade gnumeric. -- Linux: Because life is too short to spend it rebooting. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
