The `danger` is that those you replace are being locked, wich means they will not be updated with YOU. To see what foles are affected, open yast, Software Management and filter on Instalation summery. There you can select the Versions and see if there are any that you can use. You then can change it and do a reinstall of the files. It can happen that things are then not compatible, but YaST will warn you. That way I only have `speex` that is available on SUSE and Packman, but must use the Packman one. The other programs that are locked with me are: apollon, aterm, ccze, GeoIP, gift, grepm, lame, libdvdcss2, libxine1, mad, makeSUSEdvd, MPlayer, mx, netselect, skype, speex, w32codec-all, wmdrawer, xmms-lib. The only program (apart from scripts) that are not yet in an RPM are JAlbum and MPlayer-plugin > And one more question -- what is the status of the apt repository on > ftp4.gwdg.de?

It should be the same as the YaST repositories as they use the same file. However I can not verify, as I do not use apt, because it works with YaST. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
