Just installed yet another FC5 on the other machine. 873MB of updates on dialup, but thankfully I'd saved the /var/cache/apt/archives from the other FC5 installs, so only had to suffer 496MB of downloads. Apart from some sort of transaction error when the updates finished, which I was unable to save as I got a power out. We'll forget about the error. It was something to do with pixbuf loader.
Anyway FC5 booted up ok when the power came back, and I ran apt-get update again just to check out whether everything was ok. I've got a big bunch of deletes from apt-get update, and the last entry is. W: There are multiple versions of "librsvg2" in your system.
True. Looking in synaptic I have libsrvg2#2.14.2-1, and libsrvg2#2.14.4-1.fc5.1 .
/usr/lib shows librsvg-2.so.2 pointing to librsvg-2.so.2.14.4
Is it safe to just remove the earlier librsvg2#2.14.2-1 version from the system?
There were no 3rd party repo's active when I did the updating, and both packages are listed as from (download.fedora.redhat.com)
