Subject: LPRng: Conflict error on upgrade
Hi All,

I am trying to upgrade my Red Hat 9 server.  This is my current
configuration:
      ghostscript-7.05.5-0.i386.rpm  LPRng-3.8.19-3.1.i386.rpm
      gimp-print-4.2.5-2.i386.rpm    LPRngTool-1.3.2-1.i386.rpm
      ifhp-3.5.6-1.i386.rpm
When I try to upgrade, I get the following error:

      rpm -Uvh LPRng-3.8.25-1.i386.rpm
      Preparing... ####################################  [100%]
           file /etc/printcap from install of LPRng-3.8.25-1
           conflicts with file from package setup-2.5.25-1
Any ideas as to what this is about?

Many thanks,

The 'setup' package/rpm has a file called /etc/printcap.  You need to use the
force  option to rpm to overwrite this file.
 rpm --force ...

Hi Patrick,

  If I like my current /etc/printcap, can I just ignore the error?  
Does the error
stop the installation?

   How about pulling a page from the samba project and and modifying 
the rpm script
to create /etc/printcap.rpmnew, if there is a conflict?
