I'm glad it's always worked for you Volker, however it has not worked for me many times, maybe there is some difference between rpm on RedHat and SuSe?.
The machine is a fresh install of RH7.2, it's not had anything 'dodgy' done to it. By 'unable to fulfil each others dependencies' i'm saying that rpm was unable to figure out from the list of rpms given to it (*) that they will cover all the dependencies, as a side thought, surely this has to be a non-trivial programming issue as the size of the list of rpm's increases. jeremyb. > From: Volker Kuhlmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2002/04/09 Tue PM 06:21:26 GMT+12:00 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Re: Installing kde3.0 -- I need help :( > > Ehh, so?
