RPM question

RPM question

[Tom Troonbeeckx]

Hi everybody,

I want to install a driver rpm-package with the following command : rpm -Uvh
package.rpm
This goes mostly very smoothly.

Most times I got failed dependencies of required programes but this one is
different.
I don't know the exact remark I had but as I can recall it was a file-x that
conflicts with file-y.

Is there an rpm option to avoid or to autofix this problem?

Thanx in advance.

De-install the the conflicting package before installing the new version, or 
if you are pretty confident the conflict is harmless use 'rpm -Uvh --force'. 
Or better yet, install apt for rpm: http://apt.freshrpms.net/ since apt tends 
to deal better with dependencies and such.

This is caused when more than one package owns thinks it owns a file.
For the most part you only see this when doing something like putting
a mandrake rpm on redhat or suse.  There is no easy way to fix the problem,
rebuild the rpm without that file, or force install on a test box to make
sure replacing that file dosn't cause problems.
