OK it seems I have gotten myself into a twist that I can not get past. I have Mandrake 7.1 installed. I wanted to use gnome-pilot for my visor, so I had to download src rpms and recompile with the --enable usb-visor. This all went fine and dandy and installed. So did the devel packages and conduits. Where I got myself into trouble is with pilot-link. The stock install puts pilot-link-0.9.3-15mdk.i586.rpm in. I figured since I was downloading I would grab the source rpm for pilot-link-0.9.5-0.3.2mdk.i686.rpm. It compiled with no problems and I had shiny new rpm. When I tried to install the new rpm with -Uvh, I got some dependancy error (don't recall exact error). But with several success's in the day, I pushed my luck and went for rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs. The install happened and looked normal. Well I am still having problems with gnome-pilot, so I wanted to go to ground zero and uninstall everything and reinstall. Used kpackage (kde2) to get everything out, except pilot-link. It complained of multiple packages. I looked and sure enough both pilot-link packages were listed. To the command line I went, rpm -e tells me neither package is installed, rpm -i slaps me with packages installed. rpm -rebuilddb ran, but didn't fix the deal. rpm -e --justdb pilot-link (either version) returns package not installed. Any thoughts? Ideas? This is basiclly a scream for HELP! Jerry S.
