"gtkhtml" is the old package. "gtkhtml1.1" is the new package. They conflict; you can't have both of them installed at the same time. It looks like Red Carpet is trying to install new versions of the old package (which seems to have been updated since last you looked) and the new package (which gets pulled in as a dependency when you update evolution). The solution is to start by upgrading just the Evolution package. That will pull in gtkhtml1.1, which will prompt the removal of gtkhtml. Once that's done, the updated gtkhtml won't be offered to you any more, and you should be able to update all installed software at that point. -- Mark Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
