Re: New 0.99.3 RPMS available for RH Linux Intel/Sparc/Alpha 5.2

[Quantum Seep <qseep berserker lensflare com>]

The problem is that not all of the RPMS which depend on old libraries were
updated.  Notice I did not have any dependency problems with gnome-core or
anything like that.  The package gtksamba was not repackaged with the new
libraries.  It still depends on libgdk-1.1.so.11.  So, if I uninstalled
all the old packages, and installed the new ones, I would be missing some
packages.

Unless, perhaps, the gtksamba-0.3.2pl1-1 package was rebuilt, but the
package number was not changed.  I don't know.  I only downloaded the
packages for which either the version number or package number changed.
