By the way, this is the error I'm getting after running apt-get update and following the instructions on the site listed in an earlier thread. "WARNING: 'apache' has 2 packages with same version but different dependencies. That usually means a packaging bug." What does this mean and is this fixable? Preston

rpm --erase --allmatches apache

Is that to say I have to uninstall apache (which I'm currently using) and reinstall it via apt-get? I'm getting a lot for those errors, btw, for other programs. Does that mean ALL of those have to be uninstalled and reinstalled? Sorry, if that's the case I'll switch to FreeBSD. I bought a distro so I could gain the benefit of a distro. That sounds like a HUGE drawback to me. Preston

No: if there are dependency problems, just ignore it: rpm --erase --nodeps --allmatches apache apt-get will fix the dependencies for you (apt-get install -f is probably needed)

Good news, the latest version of APT (0.5.4) does not have this problem: With respect to APT and SuSE-8.0, you need to have the latest apt release available, that's all. With the latest release there is no need to uninstall anything :))) The latest one is available at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/different-versions.html Only the *cnc6* rpms are needed. One drawback for GUI fans: synaptic is not available for this version. If someone gets it to build let me know ;/ The link should get you started: http://distro.conectiva.com.br/projetos/46/ Op woensdag 28 augustus 2002 19:35, schreef Frederik Vos:

Hi, I think it is no neccesary to do that. I resolved the problems of dependencies (derived likely of updating with Yast2_on_line_update with patches rpm) simply re-installing the problematic packages: apt-get install my_problematic_package That way apache only will be down during few seconds when doing '/sbin/SuSEconfig' Guillermo.
