I tried to make this upgrade on my 5.0, i386 system, and the machine
wouldn't let me. It gave me the message
failed dependencies:
libproc.so.1.2 is needed by procps-X11-1.2.4-1
when I tried to upgrage the procps package and then the message
failed dependencies:
libproc.so.1.2.6 is needed by procps-X11-1.2.7-1
when I tried to upgrade the procps-X11 package. I looked, and
libproc.so.1.2 is in my /lib directory. However, libproc.so.1.2.6 is
not. I'm not really sure what's going on here (being basically a total
newbie.) Can anyone help?
