Very unfortunate decision to try to upgrade or install system
files, _especially libraries and headers_, using --force or --nodeps.
RH 7 is broken and buggy because they tried to make the jump from the
2.95 libraries to 2.96. Now you've done the same to your Mandrake 7.2
system. Benjamin, I know you're an experienced user, the situation
with 2.96 (which is still unstable in today's cooker) is also easily
obtainable information.
