The packages that are messed up, you can fix them, after removing Thac as an urpmi source, by uninstalling with urpme, then reinstalling with urpmi. My problem was that I'd messed up so many packages that I couldn't get them all fixed. I just kept finding new things that were broken, so I gave up. Once deficiency in urpmi seems to be the ability to revert to a previous version of a package. If it's a kde package that you've upgrade, uninstall sometimes means uninstalling all of kde, due to dependencies (though I think there's a way to tell it to ignore dependencies). -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
