Sorry for going off topic, but since it is a concern ...

Using a linux distribution with an intelligent package/dependencies
handling system such as Gentoo or Debian would end your updating
woes for all time. In debian testing

apt-get install inkscape



urpmq,urpmi, etc  under Mandrake10.1

downloads and installs inkscape 0.41 and updates all dependencies automatically and in Gentoo

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -ua inkscape

downloads the source of inkscape 0.41 and all required dependencies and compiles them (taking a lot of time of course). Without going to the testing distribution ("~x86") you get 0.37



almost the same for  mandrake 10.1 (0.39 for 10.1 )
(I don't like rc,community version , beta etc distro.)
