Hi,

I came across an error while installing staroffice-5.2 durring the
linux_base install portion.

    glib-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm
    package glib-1.2.6-2.i386.rpm (which is newer) is already installed
    error: /ports/distfiles/rpm/glib-1.2.5-1.i386.rpm cannot be
installed
    *** Error Code 1

    stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base

The work around that I used was:

1)    did a lot of grunting

2)
    rm glib-1.2.5-1.i36.rpm
    cp glib-1.2.6-2.i36.rpm glib-1.2.5-1.i36.rpm

Then the installer was "fooled" into installing the later version, and
the rest of install went smoothly.
