Happened to me to this morning. It seems that the Ximian people introduced a version number in brackets after the line: Provides: ximian-gnumeric in the file you mention under Gnumeric section. I removed the number and it worked afterwards. Also reported this on the Ximian-users list. Regards. -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
