Congratulations, you have just gotten your first taste of the RPM dependency riddle (although complex interdependencies are invariant for any package manager). The Best Thing(TM) to do is find a good apt repository, and not touch the rpms directly. If that doesn't work out, then here is about the limit of my RPM knowledge (-: It looks like your conflicting RPM's are from different (incompatible in this point) repositories. What I would probably do is get the source RPM, xmms-<something>.src.rpm, either from the xmms people or the fedora people, then: # rpm -ivh xmms-<something>.src.rpm # rpmbuild --clean -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/xmms[-<something>].spec # ls -lshF /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/*xmms*.rpm # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/*xmms*.rpm If this doesn't work, then you may have to directly remove all older xmms rpms, be VERY CAREFUL here: # rpm -qa | grep xmms # verify this is what you want to remove... # rpm -qa | grep xmms | xargs rpm -ev # ...and remove it now # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/*xmms*.rpm Justin _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
