   Error to resolve dependen for some packages selectded for installation
   Missing Dependency: fedora-release-notes >= 7 is needed by package fedora-release

   What you need to do is install both packages at the same time, not separately. So put everything on one line.

   For example:
   rpm -Uvh fedora-release.rpm fedora-release-notes.rpm

   Use the real filenames though. The package dependencies should resolve that way.

   i want to update all packages see it:
   (‘file /usr/bin/gaim conflicts between attempted installs of pidgin-2.0.2-3.fc6.1 and gaim-2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc6′, (6, ‘/usr/bin/gaim’, 0L))

   Hmm. Without rolling my sleeves up, I suggest your remove the package(s) responsible for conflicts. GAIM has officially changed its name to Pidgin. Your buddy list should be stored on the server, so just remove GAIM altogether. When your upgraded OS is sound, install Pidgin as you wish and then login with your regular account.

    Hi, im totally new to linux in fact i just installed it less than a week ago, i have fedora6 but every time i try to update it says theres an error updating, it says (‘file /usr/bin/gaim conflicts between attempted installs of pidgin-2.0.2-3.fc6.1 and gaim-2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc6′, (6, ‘/usr/bin/gaim’, 0L)) please can someone help

    Gaim is antiquated and has been replaced by Pidgin. Try to remove both packages completely:

    rpm -e gaim-2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc6
    rpm -e pidgin-2.0.2-3.fc6.1

    Then reinstall Pidgin:

    rpm -ivh pidgin-2.0.2-3.fc6.1

    Also, Fedora 6 is aging. Fedora 9 was released released back in May this year.
