[newbie] Upgrading packages
I'm having a bit off a problem upgrading/installing some rpm files. Gnapster stopped working for me for some odd reason, so I was trying to get some other Linux ports for Napster. I found Gnome-Napster but it said I needed gnome-libs 1.0.53 and I have 1.0.14. So I went over to rpmfind.net to get the updated version. But when I tried to install that, it said that "gnome-libs = 1.0.14 is needed by gnome-libs-devel-1.0.14-1mdk" so I can't upgrade. And then trying to upgrade gnome-libs-devel says "gnome-libs = 1.0.58 is needed by gnome-libs-devel-1.0.58-1mdk". So i can't upgrade gnome-libs-devel until I upgrade gnome-libs. And I can't upgrade gnome-libs because my old version of gnome-libs-devel needs the old version of gnome-libs. So I'm in a Catch 22. How do I upgrade both gnome-libs and gnome-libs-devel? -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.

[newbie] Upgrading Packages.
I've been having a hell of a time upgrading packages, I only have a slow, metered phone line at home so I download updates from work. I downloaded the new version of wine, and glx-mesa as rpm's. went to install it them, from rpmdrake and was told there were conflicts, so i went to uninstall wine-debug and mesa (why it didn't upgrade i don't know), wine-debug uninstalled fine, mesa told me there were dependant's. after a lot of searching for something different, and trying rpm from the command line, I then found KPackager and managed to uninstall mesa without dependants , and glx-mesa installed fine, and opengl is now about 4X faster. (except it does get lost if I change the screen res) is there an easier way to do this without spending several hours/days on the phone, which would probably cost me far more than getting a boxed copy of m$ 2000 enterprise. (not that i'd want to mind).
