Oh, lots of warnings, but YAST forces them without asking you! -----Original Message----- From: zentara [<A HREF="mailto:zentara@netfrog.net">mailto:zentara@netfrog.net</A>] Sent: 14 January 1999 16:06 Cc: SUSE Linux E-mail List (E-mail) Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Why RPMS designed for RedHat 5.x don't necessarily work on SuSE 5.2?

I went to ftp.kde.org and downloaded the KDE 1.1pre1 set or RPMs for

it wouldn't go pass the log on point.
removing that and instaling an older package meant for SuSe helped the problem.
But why?
It's the old libc5 vs. glibc2 problem. Didn't the rpm's refuse to install and give a warning that there were "failed dependencies"? Or did you force them? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
