It seems like up2date has some strange bug. I am using up2date with
an apt repository. Today several up2dates showed up when I run
"up2date -l". Then I run "up2date -u" and got the following error:

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
########################################
RPM package conflict error.  The message was:
Test install failed because of package conflicts:
file /usr/share/gimp/2.0 from install of gimp-2.0.1-5 conflicts with
file from package gimp-data-extras-1.2.0-11
file /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes from install of gimp-2.0.1-5
conflicts with file from package gimp-data-extras-1.2.0-11

from install of gaim-0.79-0.FC2 conflicts with file from package
perl-5.8.3-18

But if I fetch the gimp-2.0.1-5.i386.rpm from an ftp mirror and
install it manually with rpm -Uvh, rpm doesn't complain. Is this an
up2date bug or is there something wrong with this PC?
