Re: [Evolution] problem running 6.2 snapshots

[Matt McManus <matt proximity com au>]

I tried that and evo now works a treat. The installer had managed to put
multiple versions of particular RPM's on my system (eg  gtkhtml) - or
perhaps more correctly, had failed to remove particular evo RPM's when
it installed the new ones.  I updated the RPM db, removed all evo RPM's,
then ran the helix-installer.

Thanks for the help :)
