Daniel:
OK - so it looks like you can't replace a package with a package that provides something that conflicts with the package you are replacing. How's that for a tongue twister! I don't see any way around this one short of removing the "Provides: libgl" from xfree86-base. Perhaps we could put the "Provides: libgl" in xfree86-server, even though it actually is in xfree86-base, since xfree86-server depends on xfree86-base. Anway, as a test, could you remove the libgl from "Provides", "Conflicts" and "Replaces" in xfree86-base-4.2.0-2.info and try re-installing? -Jeff On Thu, 24 Jan 2002, Daniel E.
