I presume you're trying the one from Cooker? I'd bet that the best way
to install it would be to install Cooker first, then Licq. You could
always use the --force option with rpm, but like you say, that _may_
break things.
Again, I'll recommend a different that you go get a different licq rpm
from http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/licq.html
There's a .70f RPM at the top of that page that works fine on any
Mandrake 6.0+ system (maybe even 5.x, but I haven't tried it) _without_
(this is the important part for me) any required qt2 or libstdc++
library upgrades!
The only downside is that you have to specify the option on the command
line- run `licq -p qt-gui` instead of just `licq`. Bero says that the
Cooker package gets around this, but I'll have to take his word for it,
as I'd rather not jump through hoops upgrading my libraries just to
install licq.
Not to knock the Mandrake distribution or anything; it's a fine
product that I recommend to anyone who wants to use Linux. With licq,
however, I'm more comfortable running this other RPM than the one
offered in Cooker. Now, they may have uploaded a new one that doesn't
require QT2 & new libstdc++, or perhaps made qt2 and/or libstdc++
easier to install (i.e. no dependency issues with 6.x), in which case
I'd try it again. As it stands, though, I'll stick with what works
right now.
