Damien,  I have only used the "urpmi" command by itself to install anything. 
For example, to install my present ekiga, I said, "urpmi ekiga". That I know of, 
I didn't use any syntax to "force" anything. 

--But, I did go to the Mandriva Cooker project to get this ekiga version, because 
the install that was being offered by Mandriva, was compiled under gnome 2.10, 
and I was running gnome 2.12 with matching evolution mail client, and the urpmi 
wanted to roll my system backward to gnome 2.10 to add ekiga, something I wanted 
to avoid.

So, are you saying you think my set up will work if I find a way to add libpt.so.1.10.0?  
(I tried "urpmi libpt.so.1.10.0" but it said no such package, which means I will have 
to find it, down load it, and point urpmi at it.....)

And by the way, why does ekiga at least "appear" to work, by showing its dialpad under 
running at root level in terminal?
