[root@fast rpm]# rpm -U tkinter-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
python = 1.5.2 is needed by tkinter-1.5.2-13
!!!!
[root@fast rpm]# rpm -e tkinter
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
tkinter is needed by kernelcfg-0.5-5
tkinter is needed by netcfg-2.20-2
.... so, do I risk continuing with the uninstall, given that for all I
know it could break kernelcfg and netcfg? do they require to be upgraded
also? where will it all end?
