I have a freshly installed Fedora3 on an athlon64
I am trying to follow an faq at www.wilsonet.com/mythtv .
I typed "apt-get update and saw all the packages downloading. I then got several of these errors on different packages . Here is a clip of one of them:
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:
There were several packages with this error and didn't want to go any further without asking.
Well if you want apt download debian :P RH uses rpms and I think it's no good mixing those two.
Well as it says you have to delete all double packages or it won't get updated properly. I don't know how you managed to get more versions installed cause they should get overwritten as far as I know. Or you can just try to upgrade and hope it works.
Someone clued me in on the mythtv IRC channel. You see, APT-Get does not work well with Athlon 64 X86 distros, so that was the problem. There was nothing wrong with my installation. I used Yum instead as it apparently does work. All is fine now.
