I gave up.
In November, using Mandriva 2006, I tried again gourmet-0.8.5.0-1mdk.noarch.rpm when that had the same dependency problems, I tried the two older rpms but with no success. Again, I gave up. > Mandriva and it's urpmi system doesn't suffer from dependency hell > unless you are trying to install something that won't work with your > system as it is :) Ah, well, here's a bit of a problem. I am on a slow dial-up connection. Where I live, this is unlikely to ever change. So I like to download packages at work where I have a T-1 line. Unfortunately, there are no Linux systems available and therefore, no urpmi option. (At least I've convinced them to try OpenOffice 2 for that other operating system). I haven't looked for a newer Gourmet rpm for Mandriva, perhaps a happy surprise awaits. Julie ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
