having troubles-downloaded the 2 files-up2date and gnome up2date-
when i use the terminal to install- i get up2date needs gnome, and and the same if i install the other
seems like it will install just by clicking on the 2 downloads, and each seems to install
when i run the other command in the terminal, not sure what it is, maybe up2date -p, it states i must register. i have registered before, before the update.i type my username, password, etc, and i allways get, cannot register username

any suggestions
I had the same problems. Couldn't resolve it, so finally had to log in with a whole new name and email address. So far that's working, but who knows for how long.
That will update both files at the same time (I believe that one file depends on the other) and all should be well. I done it that way myself around 6 times recently and has worked perfectly.
