How can I solve this? Thank you for every help will be provided. Fabio De Francesco
Hi,
"*.rpm cannot be installed" usually means that your rpm file is corrupt. reload it, check the checksum etc.
When I recieve messages like this I usually run synaptic from a shell prompt, as root, ie #sux #password #synaptic then flip to the upgradeable section and (doubleclick) select the file that wouldn't upgrade for installation. Then I can go to the programmed changes page and see if there is a conflict. If there is no conflict then I try to install the program by selecting "proceed" If there is still an error then some information will be available in the shell which spawned synaptic telling me why it didn't work.
