RE: RPM won't install/upgrade things for me...

I am not an RPM expert, but I would try to rebuild the RPM database first (look at the man page for this. It is pretty easy). Then I would try to "upgrade" the packages with rpm -Uvh instead of rpm -ivh. -Manuel. > -Mensaje original- > De: Stan Bubrouski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Envi
