psychoticDEMENTO Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to update my SDL libraries for MDK9.2. i d/led the package and i always get an error that it cannot overwrite or something. i tried updating mandrake and installed everything, but that didnt work. i also tried removing the file with remove packages and it has to remove everything on my system that relies on it like: totem, tuxracer, etc. help me please :D EDIT: the exact error: Installation failed: file /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 from install of SDL-1.2.6-1 conflicts with file from package libSDL1.2-1.2.5-12mdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienThree Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 You have to uninstall the old RPM first with rpm -e --nodeps libSDL1.2. This will forcefully erase just the contents of the SDL rpm regardless of dependencies. Then install the new one with rpm -ivh This is caused by the rpm naming convention which is - Name Of Program-Version-Architecture.rpm The "official" SDL rpm is named SDL while the mdk rpm is named libSDL1.2, thus resulting in the conflict.
