FW: [expert] KDE 2.1 and jdk ***Chris Molnar can you please help***

[Milnes Terry SSgt 52LSS/LGLOE]

>From the following posts, you can surmise that I am having just one problem
w/ KDE2.1Beta2. I cannot get kdebase to install. When I try to install it I
get the following error cpio:unlink /usr/share/apps/kdm/user/pics. (both
kde2.1 and kdebase 2.0 that comes w/ 7.2) this is what I think might be
happening. Previously I had 7.1 installed as I cannot install 7.2 straight
due to my MVP3 chipset. It(7.1) has kde 1.1.2 which did not have KDE in the
same layout. I was thinking because I only have one .xpm file in
/usr/share/apps/kdm/user/pics it fails as it is trying to change the
pictures for all of the users. I.e. root, nobody... If this is correct, can
I just do a touch root.xpm and then install the rpm, or am I way off base.
Also, could it be my cpio rpm is a older version and needs updating? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The only package that should have required doing the-nodeps to it was
kdebase.  Everything else should have been updatable.  The problem may be
more deeply rooted in the prior updates made.
