nvidia drivers - transaction check - error?


I am following the instructions found here
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...c5.html#nvidia

To install my nvidia drivers

When I run yum --enablerepo livna install kmod-nvidia it seems to go thru until the end when I get

Transaction Check Error: file /usr/include/sepol/policydb/avrule_block.h from install of libsepol-1.12.17-1.fc5 conflicts with file from package libsepol-1.11.18-2
file /usr/include/sepol/policydb/conditional.h from install of libsepol-1.12.17-1.fc5 conflicts with file from package libsepol-1.11.18-2
file /usr/include/sepol/policydb/policydb.h from install of libsepol-1.12.17-1.fc5 conflicts with file from package libsepol-1.11.18

Any ideas? I tried removing those files and running it again - same deal

How about removing (purging)the older package (libsepol-1.11.18) completely, then try to install the newer one? Or then try to do a "force install", without caring about the conflicts. Sometimes it's needed. Just keep in mind it's a good idea to check why it conflicts, and what it might broke if you did force install.
