Shall I do rpm -e xine ? Of course not! Because I will find some other dependencies and I will have to remove a lot of packages.... Ther are a lot of problems like this; to share libraries between many packages is a very good thing and this is a good way *but* sometimes the way it is done is awfull because the "new" version of some library is not so new for the package you want to install and the installation could be done in spite of the version number of the package which installed these libraries... When you know a lot about the package you want to install, you can go straight and use some strong arguments like "nodeps" or "force" but when you don't know much.... you give up. I give up untill the compatibility between what I have installed and what I want to install become better.... Thanks anyway.
