It's fixed now, ie., I have a way to back off the change to version 1.1.2 and urpmi the 'official' MDK version. Done it twice now, in fact, just to make sure ;-) Turns out, AFAICT, that the old 'medium contrib uses an invalid list' error was the stumbling block. It could be coincidence, but once I got rid of that error (been meaning to do that for awhile...) and ran 'urpmi.update -a -c -f && rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && ldconfig -v', all behaved as it should. Thanks to all who replied, and esp. to Charlie who replied to me offlist and got me to finally nix that 'contrib' warning. Urpmi is weird and wonderful, tha's fer sure. As an aside, if I install the Mandrake RPM for libimlib2, PyPanel 2.0 still runs (though it shouldn't) and so does Eterm, but not Esetroot. If I forcibly remove the Mandrake RPM, and do a make install of the newer version, everything works. I think I'll hold off upgrading any other libs for awhile, I'm pushin' me luck. -- JoeHill RLU / #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 20:27:08 up 64 days, 20:15, 6 users, load average: 0.97, 0.64, 0.42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -- Hunter S.
