I am having a problem upgrading libdvdnav via apt-get install libdvdnav. It gives the error that it conflicts with the previously installed libdvdnav. Does anyone no of a switch to add to the end of the line to get it to force install? Thanks!
Are you sure that is the problem? On my 8.2 system, the new libdvdnav conflicted with the original MPlayer, which had a dependency for the older libdvdnav. It would have installed on mine but deleted MPlayer. You should update MPlayer with the one from packman.links2linux.org, which just yesterday had an i586 version (after I rebuilt the src rpm over the weekend since there was only i686 ;-) ). After that, the new libdvdnav installed fine. YMMV
I have upgraded MPlayer from the packman repository. However, I am still getting a conflict trying to upgrade libdvdnav. Thanks for the suggestion though ;^)
Does it help if you execute like: apt(-get) remove libdvdnav libdvdnav+ Looks strange, don't know if it will work either. You tell apt/rpm to remove and at the same time to install libdvdnav rpm. So you keep on satisfying the dependencies at the end :) If that does not work you may obtain the script apt, which has an option --rpm-force, which is what you're looking for I think. I hope that the rpm --force does not make double entries in your rpm db, you should check after the install.... YOu can get the script for here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/apt4rpm/apt4rpm/client/apt -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
