I realize the dependencies are there for a reason. I'm reporting what happened to me. I'm trying to find a solution. Gerry wrote: You know, the dependencies are there for a reason..

However, I was missing ppp and apmd. I have no idea what Libkdefakes.so.0 is used for? Should I upgrade from KDE2 to KDE2.1 beta 2 and then take it from there? Libkdefakes is a "fake" library. I don't know exactly what that means or why it's called in the install, but the Mandrake testers were told they could safely ignore this dependency. If it's the only thing that's preventing the install, then use "--nodeps". Apmd is on the 7.2 install CD. According to the description it's for laptop installs, but the Mandrake testers were told it also has a function in the KDE bug-reporting system and 2.1 needs it for this. Use the Package Manager with the 7.2 CD mounted and search for "apmd", then install this package. I think it's probably preferable to do this before installing 2.1 but I suppose you could again use "--nodeps" and do it after. Cheers. M. -- Michael O'Henly TENZO Design
