I'm currently trying to install these packages (from RH 7.3 and
RawHide, onto a RH 7.2 system):
fontconfig-0.0.1.020826.1330-3.i386.rpm XFree86-libs-4.2.0-52.01.i386.rpm
XFree86-4.2.0-52.01.i386.rpm XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-52.01.i386.rpm
XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-52.01.i386.rpm freetype-2.1.2-7.i386.rpm
and I get these error messages:
error: failed dependencies:
kernel-drm = 4.2.0 is needed by XFree86-4.2.0-52.01
XFree86 <= 4.2.0-3.1 conflicts with XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-52.01
I'm currently building a 2.4.19 kernel, since I've seen some sign that
it will provide a recent version of kernel-drm.
But what does the XFree86 complaint mean? I believe I'm installing
XFree86 4.2.0-52, judging by the rpm name, so how can that be less
than 4.2.0-3.1. And why is it conflicting with
XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-52?
