On 5th March an Apache security update appeared on SuSE's web site (e.g. the 7.2 version in http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/updates/72_i386.html ). But this seems to be impossible to install if you also have jserv installed: # rpm -q -p apache.rpm apache-1.3.19-114 # rpm -Fhv apache.rpm error: failed dependencies: apache = 1.3.19-66 is needed by jserv-1.1.2-156 I can't find a newer version of jserv. I had problems with the 7.1 and 7.3 versions too, but managed to get round them by erasing software I didn't need. Can this update be safely forced?

Sven, rpm -Uhv and rpm -Fhv do exactly the same thing if a version of the package already exists on your system. The -F flag means 'freshen', i.e. only update existing packages. It has nothing to do with dependencies.

These hard version dependencies sometimes not very useful, as in this case... actually we need to put out all dependant packages again to satisfy just to satisfy them.
I had problems with the 7.1 and 7.3 versions too, but managed to get round them by erasing software I didn't need.

Yes. There is no change in that apache package that could be incompatible with the jserv package. Actually, and I'm sorry to say that, you don't need to update apache, only mod_ssl if you use it at all. Thanks for your attention (once again), Peter -- VFS: Busy inodes after unmount.
