There might be a need for distribution checking tool. This tool would check for packages from older distributions that deemed obsolete (for example I had still qtcups and cipe hanging around), also configuration files in /etc and other locations. It would look for .rpmsave and .rpmnew files. For each of these problems it could offer a way to fix it or retain it as it is. I have the feeling that a lot of the problems with upgrading is those files from earlier distributions interfering. I think there is also a problem of stale gconf keys. For example I had at some time several keys of the same name, but the one with a "-" in it, the other with a "_". Is there a way to clean up the gconf database? -- Gérard Milmeister Tannenrauchstrasse 35 8038 Zürich gemi@xxxxxxxxxx
