And if Evolution requires updated libraries, that in turn are used by other apps on your system, that operation will fail. Using a larger hammer will break applications (balsa, abiword, gnucash, gnumeric, and others). If you want to remove Evolution and Red Carpet, it should suffice to: rpm -e evolution evolution-pilot red-carpet Its equivalent in Red Carpet (less easy to describe in email) works just as well. Feel free to remove any other Ximian packages that aren't depencencies of other packages on your system. If you insist on removing those as well, you may want to downgrade to the Red Hat versions of those packages. This requires rpm -Uvh --oldpackage, and there's not normally a way to downgrade software in Red Carpet. The closest thing to a FAQ on the subject is the rpm man page. -Mark Gordon _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
