It's not a conflict or old package, it's a dependancy, you need to install them at the same time or use --nodeps and do it consecutivly. -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon

Simple rpm -Uvh XFree-3.3.6.rpm xinitrc-2.2.4-10mdk.rpm assuming those are the correct filenames... if you wanted to do them separatey --nodeps is what you were looking for, not --force. But like I said the simplest way as I have shown above. -Gary Simmons

[expert] XFree86-3.3.6
I'm trying to upgrade my X server to 3.3.6.. When I do rpm -Uvh XFree-3.3.6.rpm it complains that xinitrc >= 2.4.4-10mdk is needed... When I try to update xinitrc it tells me that XFree86 >= 3.3.5-12mdk is needed by xinitrc-2.4.4-10mdk... I've tried both rpm -Ivh and rpm -Uvh... I've also tried --force... which BTW doesn't force anything... What am I doing wrong... This is turning into a big chicken and the egg problem... Bob
