Error while installing packages

maxmad · 2008-09-25

Hi @ all, Im absolutely new in linux, but had the preconception that it was more transparent to user than Window$... :? Running [b]Linpus Lite[/b] I managed to unlock the "advanced mode" and tried to install new soft from the packages (code::blocks and other dev tools). Once confirmed the package selections, it resolves some dependencies and then downloaded with no problem. But, during the update phase I got this message: "Error Updating software" [i]Details: package [b]gettext-0.16.1.12.lp[/b] which is newer than gettext-0.16.1.12.fc8) is already installed.[/i] (that file was not selected to update) and can only close the window. I tried to remove that file and had the same error... Any clue or work arround about this :?: ? Thanx in advance *maxmad*
