File conflicts

Yeah, I figured it might make the database confused. It seems there is a
fix in a newer version from your pointer:

================================================

Which kind of brings up another question. When I use the graphical
Add/Remove Software it only shows 0.9-9.fc14 as an option.

If there is a 0.9-10.fc14 available how do I get it to show up on the
list ?

I feel kind of bad having to ask this, but this whole RPM issue has made
things so easy, and it just always seems to work, I haven't had to
really take time to figure out how it works in order to deal with the
exceptions. It's great quite frankly.

Thanks
