I don't understand how apt-get may work at all, does not it require an updated list of packages to start to work, how did you define this list? Unless I miss some apt-get repository that features fvwm-2.4.17 rpm, do not use apt-get, it can't help you here. Amyway, just install one of the libstroke rpms that you may find on the Net and you will be fine with "rpm --upgrade fvwm-2.4.17-1.i386.rpm". You may find one of the libstroke rpms on our rpm page, should work with any RedHat version. > % locate libstroke.so.0 > /usr/local/lib/libstroke.so.0.0.5 > /usr/local/lib/libstroke.so.0 > > % rpm -qa | grep -i fvwm > fvwm-2.4.17-1 > > % rpm -qa | grep -i stroke > > % rpm -qf /usr/local/lib/libstroke.so.0.0.5 > file /usr/local/lib/libstroke.so.0.0.5 is not owned by any package > > % rpm -qf /usr/local/lib/libstroke.so.0 > file /usr/local/lib/libstroke.so.0 is not owned by any package Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
