A number of people e-mailed me about this and wanted to know if I heard anything. Here's Erik's response which I don't think he sent to the list. Thanks Erik! BTW, I also had to --force it because of errors like: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 conflicts with file from XFree86-VGA16-3.3.1-1 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86-it.lst conflicts with file from XFree86-VGA16-3.3.1-1 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst conflicts with file from XFree86-VGA16-3.3.1-1 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/nec/jp conflicts with file from XFree86-VGA16-3.3.1-1 Dave ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Authentication-Warning: mercury.redhat.com: ewt owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 21:43:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Erik Troan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Dave Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: SECURITY: new XFree86 packages now available Just use --nodeps...
