Was running Fedora Core 5, having issues with giftd req - would not find ltdl library. Libtools and related installed. When investigating the issue, I realized I had two librsvg2 packages installed. I've tried removing them via rpm, yum, and apt-get. All instances would give me "scriplet failed - exit status 1"

I was going to post yesterday concerning this issue and realized that Core 6 had been released. So, I though that it would clear it up by upgrading.

No dice. Not only is it still there, now I have a lot of FC5 packages installed too.

I ran apt-get to upgrade distro and it cleared up the erronious packages. But in upgrading the distro I still have:

/usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders: line 27: /etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders: No such file or directory
error: %postun(librsvg2-2.14.2-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
/usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders: line 27: /etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders: No such file or directory
error: %postun(librsvg2-2.14.4-1.fc5.1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

Anybody have any ideas how to get rid of this... IT'S DRIVING ME NUTZ!

After the distro upgrade, now I just have:

W: There are multiple versions of "librsvg2" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^librsvg2$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

.. resynchronization complete.

Upgrading all packages with command apt-get -y -f upgrade ..

Anything would be appriciated; but a fix would be more helpful

Hello there,

A bit brutish but you could try:

rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches --noscripts librsvg2

and this should remove both instances. You can then re-install with apt-get or yum.

That did it...

thanx!
