Yeah, I came to that same conclusion too. I downloaded the new libs and their
dependancies, but now kpackage refuses to uninstall my older version of cpp, so
I can install cpp-2.95.1-3. It's driving me crazy! I tried the uninstall
command, just to find out i don't have it. i've tried uninstalling it from
Kpackage and it gives me the error " 'cpp' specifies multiple packages" and then
just stops. Can anyone out there help me? i've also tried the "RPM -e --clean
cpp-1.1.1-3, and it gives me the same error as Kpackage does. If someone out
there could help me, I'd GREATLY appreciate it! Just some info. I'm running
Mandrake 6.0.
Thanks!
