This is probably more appropriate to a Linux setup list, but at this stage I need the info to upgrade gnucash from 1.4.11 to 1.6.2 on a Mandrake 8.0 system. My question is: to what extent can I use the --force option to install the updated libraries? My guesss would be: only when the only conflict is that the new library is re[placing an earlier version, not when there is a missing dependency. Doug.
