That means you currently have mozilla-mail-0.7-whatever installed. Do you have an RPM for 0.9.5 in the directory of what you wish to upgrade? If not, you need to download it also and try again, or 'rpm -e mozilla-mail' and then try again. Which you choose will depend on whether you want to keep mozilla-mail installed. That's what the error is saying. It means you have an older mozilla-mail installed, you don't have a new one in the updates, the old one won't be uninstalled without a new one to install, and the old one needs a lib that no longer exists in the new package. Now, all of that presumes things work right. Mostly they do. Sometimes they don't. If you have everything and it's giving you the error, you can still issue 'rpm -e mozilla-mail' and then rpm -Uvh everything and make it all work. I never used the older mozilla stuff so I can't be sure. But sometimes things change around enough to confuse the RPM system. This could be one of those. Another one you'll probably see eventually is when you try to upgrade from an RPM with a version number to one with a higher number, and get told that the lower-numbered version is newer. I always just uninstall the old one (with --nodeps if needed) and then install the new one when this happens. So do I have the rpm in the wrong directory? I currently have it in my home directory where I created a directory for it, or does it need to go under var, bin or usr? So if I can't get this to install, how do I uninstall the current rpm for Mozilla 0.7 and install 0.9.5? thanks, -Chris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
