Hi, sorry for my question if you have answered it yet but I didnt' find the history of this mailing list (did it exist?).

I'm a newbie on Linux platform (and french, sorry for my poor english). I wanted to upgrade MDK 7.1 with KDE2. Then I have downloaded the mdk's rpm and read carefully the FAQ. Then I upgraded the 7.2 mdk rpm: menu, Mandrake_desk, OpenSSL, qt2 and pam.

Well.... The installation was a nightmare :-) A lot of bad dependancies... I forced it (without uninstall KDE1.1 :-(

Now I have a bad situation:

Part of KDE2 but the kdebase2.0 is impossible to install (even uninstalling kdebase1.1). I have the message: "File /usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users: cpio: unlink failed mauvais descripteur de fichiers."

(i use rpm -U --nodeps .... )

Grrrrrrr .....

Can you help me please ?

I'm in a bad situation, for example, kpackage doesn't work now, I lost my personal desk ....

Thank you for the newbie :-)

Bye

Paul
