    Hi, I'm new to linux so please help

    When installing banshee via

    # sudo yum install banshee

    I get the following errors

    Transaction Check Error:
    file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Internet.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1608.mcs_patched
    file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Settings.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1608.mcs_patched

    I have absolutely no idea how to resolve this

    hey!
    yep, had the same issue but Macles went through this too and explain in Tip#3 how to resolve that. Pretty easy to do, Banshee now runs fine on the AA1:

    #3 gnome-menus
    This depedency problem is triggered via f-spot or evolution, displaying the following error.

    file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Internet.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1522.no_spot.mcs_patched
    file /usr/share/desktop-directories/Settings.directory from install of gnome-menus-2.20.3-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package xfdesktop-acer-lp-1522.no_spot.mcs_patched

    It's fairly easy to fix. Just download gnome-menus and redhat-menus and force their installation. Then restore the original content of the conflicting files.

    sudo yum install yum-utils
    sudo yumdownloader gnome-menus redhat-menus
    cp /usr/share/desktop-directories/* .
    sudo rpm -U --force gnome*rpm redhat*rpm
    sudo mv *directory /usr/share/desktop-directories

    Cheers
