The version of up2date you have may required > rpm-4.0.3? I don't think so. I just tested this on another box with the same setup as leopard. [root at penguin atanner]# rpm -q up2date up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2 [root at penguin atanner]# rpm -q rpm rpm-4.0.3-1.03 [root at penguin atanner]# rpm -q apt apt-0.3.19cnc55-1sp_rh7x_realtime.5 But on my workstation, I have the same version of up2date and a newer rpm: [atanner at pelican PCs_Unix]$ rpm -q up2date up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2 [atanner at pelican PCs_Unix]$ rpm -q rpm rpm-4.0.4-7x [atanner at pelican PCs_Unix]$ rpm -q apt apt-0.3.19cnc55-realtime.9 Can someone explain what an apt-get install does differently than an apt-get upgrade, that an apt-get install apt works when an apt-get upgrade apt does not? I thought both would remove apt and then install the newer one. -- Amy Tanner amy at real-time.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
