Hi guys, Thanks for your replies. I think the problem as Sean said was that I was trying to upgrade using the -U option rather than just install it. I have one other question. Does the distribution an rpm comes from matter. For instance if I have an rpm that is available from Conectiva, can I use it on Red hat. It seems to me that only the architecture would matter right?
