Hi Graham. The problem starts when you try to add other packages. Can you see if you can add a new software package and see what happens with the dependancies? Simply running update for me worked fine, but adding a new package caused problems - either from the CDs or from multiple FTP sources (tried a few times).

I have no ideas what might be happening but as far as I know SUSE online updates are working perfectly for me. graham _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
