The urpm command set is built on top of the rpm command set. The Urpm commands are automated, finding all dependencies, and conflicts, and supposedly resolves them.
I agree with Damien that somehow I have broken things or that dependencies seem to be mixed up. I have noticed that my old gnomemeeting program that did launch before I tried to install ekiga, now no longer launches at all.
Also, when I remove ("urpme") ekiga, I notice that the new cooker lib that was installed with it, does not also get removed. I don't remember what that lib was. Is there a command that would identify the dependencies that ekiga has so that I can manually remove the lib that came down with it?
I have been asking questions on the Mandriva Forum also concerning how to get ekiga running, and here is what one of the monitors is now saying I should do, but I am thinking if my dependencies are messed up, this isn't going to work....what do you think?

Terry, I think you may have better luck if you get the Cooker .src.rpm and rebuild it, install of directly installing the Cooker binary package. Adam's Five Minute Guide to rebuilding .src.rpms:
1. Follow the instructions in "Install the software" and "Preliminary tasks" on this page: http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/RpmHowTo . You don't need to go further than that.
2. Download your .src.rpm to ~/rpm.
3. Do: rpm --rebuild file.src.rpm
4. If it succeeds, you will find the binary RPM in ~/rpm/RPMS/i586 , from where you can install it. If it fails, you're likely missing a -devel package: look at the error message you get and you should be able to figure out what package you need to install.
-------------------------------
What do you guys think? It just seems to me, that I need to UNDO the damage I have done, before anything is going to work at this point, or am I wrong in this? (If worse came to worse, I could [ shudder! ] re-install Mandriva and re-customize...)
