So far here is the output I get :

[root@localhost stephane]# urpmi spring-0.74-0.b2.2mdv2007.1.i586

I am trying on Ubuntu as well which at least installs the game, the I get a "no maps" error later on which might just be a case of putting the right files in the right directory.

I was hoping Artificial Intelligence to give that a try ....

You can probably get it installed by removing the spring-data-0.74-0.b1.1mdv2007.1 package and installing the new one.

I guess this is the problem :

[root@localhost spring_0.74b3]# urpmq -f spring
spring-0.74-0.b2.2mdv2007.1.i586
[root@localhost spring_0.74b3]# urpmq -f spring-data
spring-data-0.74-0.b1.1mdv2007.1.noarch
[root@localhost spring_0.74b3]#


Spring is b2.2 version where spring-data is b1.1!!!

What a bug!

Did anyone try to install Spring with --force and --nodep??? It works if it's installed that way?

[Edit]: OK, I tryed, but it still refuses to install. Is there a way to force urpmi to install a program regardless of any version conflict error???

Try --allow-nodeps or --allow-force.

I've never had to use these, so use them at your own risk.

it's not that obvious a bug: there is no beta2 or beta3 version of the data package. see:

http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfi...elease_id=13129

I'll see if I can sort out the conflict somehow.
