I forgot to also say that it does work to install the old libraries. Those conflicts aren't "real" conflicts so it's safe to run that script (as far as I know). This should allow os2007 applications to at least load and probably run successfully if it doesn't depend on too much other os2007 stuff. On a side note, I don't find it particularly nice for packages to use fake conflicts to force the removal of non-conflicting packages. There should be another way of asking the user whether they want to keep older packages. > So I guess there is nothing of this kind compatible with OS2008 yet.
