Thanks for the suggestion, however, when I tried to uninstall some packages
in order to upgrade them (cups, rpmdrake, rpm, rpmtools), a box appeared
saying that all these other packages would be removed to satisfy
dependencies. I clicked on "ok," and software manager closed without
uninstalli
WHOA!
from the content of the last couple of emails on this I get the impression
that you have mandrake 7.2 and are trying to update to 8.0 packages
Simply forget it! You cannot use mandrakeUpdate in that fashion. Way WAY
too much delta, plus incompatible binaries and libraries.
8.0 is back
Well this email wanted me to use the Software Manager.
I tried it on the list of Security updates that I had
downloaded. Software Manager did not work it hung,
tried the Package Manager, it hung (would not work)
tried the MandrakeUpdate, it hung (would not work),
tried rpm -Uvh it did nothing.
I use Mandrake Update as a reference tool only. It has never once

What I do is open a terminal window and login as su, then run Mandrake
Update to see what needs an upgrade; I open a browser window and go to

You need to remove the resources you do not want to use from the lists if you
want the update to work properly. Then you must specify the external source

Each time I try to update my installation, rpmdrake fails, saying the
packages already exists.
The "installable files" shown in the "updates only" list are all newer
versions than those installed.
Is there any way of forcing this program (Software Manager) to *update*
rather than just perform an

Dave, I concur with Romna,...download the updates seperately from multiple
sites if necessary. Then install them in a logical sequence. Here's a tip
that saved me a few times - When installing the KDE updates, make sure that
you're running Gnome, and not KDE. In Drakconf, disable as many servic
