RPM is telling you is that upgrading ghc would break an existing dependency among your installed packages. Namely, ghc-prof (GHC profiling support) is also installed on your computer and depends on ghc-4.08-1. Thus, you have two common options: (1) upgrade both ghc and ghc-prof at the same time: rpm -Uhv ghc-5.00.2-rh62-1.i386.rpm ghc-prof-5.00.2-rh62-1.i386.rpm (2) or, remove ghc-prof (eliminating the dependency) before upgrading: rpm -e ghc-prof rpm -Uhv ghc-5.00.2-rh62-1.i386.rpm Go with (1) if you want profiling support in your GHC installation; (2) otherwise. Let me know if neither of these work for you. Cheers, Tom
