Hi!
Before you get iffed about me posting here I can't find a post to this problem here and
I'm rather novice though I know my way around sort of since I've used Solaris systems
before but not as an admin.
The problem is this:
I got compiz and beryl installed with YAST and it worked like a charm thanks to the
wiki-site
and I got it all working in no time. The problem now is that the Software Updater has now
found updates for compiz and beryl but since there seems to be a circular dependicies,
where one package demands another to be a certain one I get the whole thing to fail and
not upgrade. I dl'd the compiz core from the site and figured I'd see if I could install
just one via konqueor like any other rpm or at least get a little more information, which
I got, it's at the bottom of the post. While Beryl and Compiz works just fine as they are
I'm guessing I might run into similar problems later on where two or more packages depend
on each other to work and neither will be update without the other.
1] So for this particular problem with Beryl and Compiz? Best of removing all the
packages and install all the new ones?
2] On the general note, which solution is the most preferred?
