Hi. The following error msgs appear when trying to "freshen" (rpm -F) some packages: package libtiff-3.5.4-44 (which is newer than libtiff-3.4.final-0) is already installed package tiff-3.5.4-44 (which is newer than tiff-3.4-0) is already installed Reasons are obvious. Maybe a silly question but... is this downgrading intentional or are there any erroneus packages on SuSE updates section? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** RoMaN SoFt / LLFB ** roman@madrid.com http://pagina.de/romansoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is so strange about that?
Updating a binary package with a source rpm isn't supposed to work in any
case. Please use the binary rpm.
Thanks,

Mea culpa. I missed the ".src." substring. I'm very sorry. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** RoMaN SoFt / LLFB ** roman@madrid.com http://pagina.de/romansoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
