Hi Traci. Can you, from a console, give me the results of:
rpm -qa|grep Zope
I think you must still have a Zope package installed somewhere because
there should be no conflicts (in fact, if you had everything from Zope
removed from the system, it shouldn't show up in MandrakeUpdate at
all). You might be missing something somewhere... please give me the
results of that output, then maybe I can see what the problem is.
Of course, the other problem might be that the mirror you're looking
at hasn't cleaned out the old Zope updated packages yet... are there
two different versions for each package? Ie a -1.1mdk and a -1.2mdk?
If so, select only the -1.2mdk packages. The mirrors should have
removed the -1.1mdk packages (old and obsolete now), but some of them
haven't yet.
