Re: Help! Failed dependencies in Redhat 5.2 ...

[Dave Reed <dreed capital edu>]

No! This will break other things on your 5.2 system (e.g., usernet
will no longer work).  Now if you don't care about any of the other
packages listed there, go ahead and do it.  There used to be separate
gtk10 and gtk-1.1 rpms that you could install ok, but I don't know
whether they have 1.1.13 rpms set up this way.
