Hello
I have looked through countless pages about rpms and there was nothing I found about breaking dependancies.
Here is what I want to know. I have an rpm installed the GD library and a few programs use it like webalizer. The RPM is for 1.8.6 and I want to upgrade to the new version 2.*. When I use the WebMin interface to install the new RPM it says that there are dependancies that use the 1.8.6 version like Webalizer and so on. So I have chosen not to overwrite the install.
I am new to using RPMs and have always installed from the source code before. Should I uninstall the old RPM then install the new RPM? Will that break those dependancies so that programs like Webalizer will not be able to use the new RPM? Or should I overwrite the old RPM with the new?
Can someone please explain this to me?
