--force should not be used unless you know what you are doing. If something like this happens, it is a bug and should be filed as one. If packages conflict, uninstall one of them, or don't upgrade until the maintainer fixes the bug. Using --force leaves the system in a somewhat broken state where in the future removing one of the packages that had a file conflict may cause the file to be removed even though the other packages still says it is installed and may require it. So it is a very very bad idea. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
