I am trying to update from Suse 9.1 to 9.2 and I have been able to eliminate all my dependency issues but a couple.

One problem is that "saxtools requires libhd.so.8" while suse 9.2 wants to throw libhd.so.9 in there. I currently have saxtools 2.2-1426 i586 on my computer but that is for version 9.1 and i can't find an update anywhere.

Another problem is that "php4-dba requires php4 = 4.3.4-" and "php4-readline requires php4 = 4.3.4-" while 9.2 wants to put php4 = 4.3.8- in there. I also have a couple other conflicts with php4 packages like php4-recode, php4-imap and php4-mysql.

I am a relative newbie to this stuff. From the research i have done i gather that saxtools is important but is this php4 business something to worry about. I am not a hardcore linux user, i run a dual boot and mostly use linux just for compiling c++ code and making nice plots in gnuplot and stuff for my research. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
geoff

ok, so apparently saxtools is replaced by sax2-tools in suse 9.2...

still not sure about the php stuff though...

and the php problems were with php4-recode...aparently this package is causes problems with -imap and -mysql and apache so they suggest to get rid of it.

everything seems to be ok now...sorry for bothering you guys...
