I am trying to upgrade my Mandrake 7 distribution to XFree 4 using rpm's.
I have downloaded the following rpm's from rpmfind.net
XFree86-4.0-2mdk.i586
XFree86-devel-4.0-2mdk.i586
XFree86-libs-4.0-2mdk.i586
XFree86-server-4.0-2mdk.i586
XFree86-xfs-4.0-2mdk.i586
XFree86-Xnest-4.0-2mdk.i586
XFree86-Xvfb-4.0-2mdk.i586
But when attempting to do a rpm -Uvh on the files I receive the following
dependency errors.
error: failed dependencies:
libfont.so.1 is needed by XFree86-VGA16-3.3.6-4mdk
libfont.so.1 is needed by XFree86-Mach64-3.3.6-4mdk

libGLU.so.3 is needed by perl-PDL-2.003-4mdk
libglut.so.3 is needed by Mesa-demos-3.1-2mdk
Should I remove the old X server first, or remove other packages, or should
I force the installation of these rpm's without regard to any of the
dependecies.
I assume since these RPM's exist, there have been successful installs of
version 4 on Mandrake. How was this done?
Thanks for any help,
Tony Webster
