hey gang, I'm trying to install gaim 0.76 into my mandrake box, but with little success, the first thing i did was remove the old gaim and then gave the computer the command to install the new one..but i get this error back.. warning: gaim-0.76-0mdk9.2.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4c292fcc Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /usr/lib/libgaim-remote.so.0.0.0 from install of gaim-0.76-0mdk9.2 conflicts with file from package libgaim-remote0-0.75-5mdk any ideas?

Instead of removing an older version so that you can install a newer version, why not use the upgrade option "rpm -Uvh?" Or you can force it to install with rpm -ivh --nodep gaim-0.76-0mdk9.2.i586.rpm -or- man rpm taurus

The error you get is telling you you still have the libgaim package from your old version of gaim installed. Remove that package, any you should be able to install the new version. In Mandrake, rather than removing the old version of a program when you want to install a newer version, you can use urpmi. urpmi will take care of dependencies for you, and put an end to RPM-he** for the most part :). urpmi gaim [as root] will install gaim and any needed dependencies. To learn more about urpmi, do man urpmi. urpmi is a command prompt tool.

You might find that downloading a newer version of libgaim-remote might help, then you can install them both with: # rpm -Uvh /path/to/rpms/*gaim*.rpm
