That's to be expected, as "rpm -i" installs a package without removing
the old one. Unless the package is specially designed (like the
kernel) you'll get conflicts. Normally, you'd want to use "rpm -U"
which will remove the old package before installing the new one.
DOH, what the heck was I thinking ? I KNEW that. Sheesh ! :smacks
forehead with open hand:
I was thinking it was an install because I had downloaded the rpms. I
don't usually have to download rpms to do updates because I just use
yum.
Thanks for the reply.
