HTH Dennis M. linux user # 18084 Hi Dennis, Thanks for responding, but I can't believe that... I just downloaded, burned and installed the 64 bit version torrent last night from the club page. Unless Mandriva did a huge oops with the iso. Phil ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?

For example, this line file /usr/X11R6/man/man3/XF86Misc.3x.bz2 from install of libxorg-x11-devel-6.9.0-5.8.20060mdk conflicts with file from package lib64xorg-x11-devel-6.9-1.cvs20050915.2mdk says quite clearly that libxorg-x11-devel... is conflicting with lib64xorg-x11-devel... Since your list shows that you are trying to update the 64 bit version you must have a 32 bit version installed. If the list that you sent is complete, then it appears that this is the only package conflicting. If not, read through the others to work out what files are conflicting. Have a look at this using the package manager tools in mandriva control center with libxorg as a search key. For the devel file, remove it and then run your update again and it should be just the 64 bit version. If the 64bit version does not appear in the update list and it is not installed then urpmi it to get it installed and then update it again. HTH Neill
