To futher complicate the issue, the Psyche-list has become so cluttered with MIME/.html and too damn few that even know how to trim a message, that it has become more pain than joy to read.

btw, if there are any MOZ users when you upgrade to 1.3b be sure to get rid of enigma (if you are using it) as 1.3b isn't compatible with 1.3a as far as enigma is concerned. I had a bugzilla in on it, and they ageed but offered no solution or help. There isn't (yet) an enigma for 1.3b

Tyr_7BE,

I solved my problem (with SDL) and it might work for your mozilla problem ie:

Code:

 Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: There are two or more versions of the package 'SDL' insta which is a situation APT can't handle cleanly at the momentPlease do one of the following:
1) Keep at most one version of the package in the system; or2) If you do want to keep multiple versions of that package,uplicated in the documentation.

by doing:

Code:

     rpm -- erase --allmatches pkg name (in my case SDL)
                If this breaks depends add --nodeps

reinstall ONCE

then

Code:

     killall rpm
     rm /var/lib/rpm/_*
     rpm --rebuilddb

HTH

Ahhhh...good job! Would have done the trick nicely for me, I'm sure. But RedHat did piss me off, and now I'm on Gentoo which is humming like an angel thus far. Thanks for the suggestion though!
