If they don't work well, I want to return to mandrake's equivalent packages. This is not supported by rpmdrake. THe best I could think is either: 1) uninstall kde via the gui, then uncheck plf repository, the reinstall kde. 2) download the packages manually, then rpm --force. Both ways have serious disadvantages: -you have to download the older packages again. They should have been kept in the cache. -The second way has another disadvantage: it forces you to use the cli. -The first way forces you to uninstall kde, so you have to use either gnome or cli.

Because it is older I presume. This also happens if I disable the texstar source! Maybe you could put an option "allow downgrading" in rpmdrake to show older packages too? And a warning "are you sure you want to downgrade kdebase-3.1.4-tex to kdebase-3.1.3-mdk? The following packages need to be downgraded too: " -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I like to try plf and texstar packages (say kde).
