My apologies if this question eventually shows up twice on the list, but my prior post of about 12 hours ago seems to have evaporated somewhere en route ...
I've been using the btdownloadcurses.py method of /slowly/ downloading the members' community edition, and wanted to download a gui client for easier control of the various parameters. Okay, so I tried switching from the btdownloadcurses interface to an install of the bittorrent-shadows client (version 5.8.3.), which gave me a "cannot listen" error upon its finishing checking the already-downloaded portion of the file. Fine. On the web, it seems that others had reported similar error messages, and the advice was to upgrade to 5.8.7, which I downloaded. Upon beginning install, though, I get the following message: The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded: kdelibs-common-3.1.3-35.1.92mdk.i586 (due to conflicts with bittorrent-shadowsclient-5.8.7-1mdk.noarch) do you agree ? Call me paranoid, perhaps, but that package its suggesting for removal sounds a little important to this near-complete newbie? So, I've not gone any further. (running 9.2) Can anyone either confirm my suspicion or put my fears to rest? Secondly, can anyone assure me that working in Linux /does/ actually get to be less painful with time? :-) Seriously, this has been the most frustrating month I can remember in many years of working with computers, and I'm beginning to think that this old dog can't learn these new tricks ... this is a major hassle getting anything to work properly.
