Hi Adam,

After using some "--force" on rpm things went all fine. I don't really
understand this, and perhaps never will. But it helped. Another remark
that rpm made over this was, that Bluefish (a simple HTML editor) also
depended on netscape-common and for that reason it was not good to throw
the old one out. But I have no problem running Bluefish with the latest
NS4.75 common files installed. With Xfree3.<dunno>.

Paul
