qmail packages in conflict with postfix

[aRTee]

I just got the qmailtoaster stuff (downloaded the srpms from the site), but there are quite a few conflicts, due to qmail packages being in conflict with postfix, and without postfix, lots of Mdk packages depend on that:

 

# urpmi /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/vpopmail-toaster-5.4.10-1.2.6mdk.i586.rpm
The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded:
drakconf-10.2-5mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied menudrake >= 0.7.2-1mdk, due to unsatisfied drakxtools > 10.2-0.34mdk, due to unsatisfied userdrake >= 1.2-1mdk, due to unsatisfied harddrake-ui > 10-12mdk)
drakfirsttime-1.2-0.1mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied drakxtools >= 10.1-0.17mdk, due to unsatisfied hwdb-clients >= 0.15.1-1mdk)
drakwizard-2.15-6mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied drakxtools >= 9.1-0.4mdk)
drakxtools-10.2-24.2.102mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied drakxtools-newt == 10.2-24.2.102mdk)

harddrake-10.2-24.2.102mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied drakxtools-newt == 10.2-24.2.102mdk, due to missing hwdb-clients)
harddrake-ui-10.2-24.2.102mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied drakxtools == 10.2-24.2.102mdk)
hwdb-clients-0.16.1-1mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied drakxtools >= 10-32mdk)
mailman-2.1.5-15mdk.i586 (due to missing smtpdaemon[*])
mailx-8.1.1-24mdk.i586 (due to missing smtpdaemon)
mdkonline-1.2-1.1.102mdk.noarch (due to missing drakxtools-newt, due to unsatisfied hwdb-clients >= 0.15.1-1mdk)
menudrake-0.7.6-4mdk.i586 (due to missing drakxtools-newt)
msec-0.45.1-1mdk.i586 (due to missing mailx)
postfix-2.1.5-6mdk.i586 (due to conflicts with vpopmail-toaster-5.4.10-1.2.6mdk.i586)
rfbdrake-1.0-8mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied drakxtools >= 9.2-0.15mdk)
rpmdrake-2.10-4.2.102mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied drakxtools >= 10.2-0.22mdk)
userdrake-1.2.1-2mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied drakxtools >= 9.2-0.15mdk) (y/N)

 

So I tried to deinstall postfix:

 

# urpme postfix
To satisfy dependencies, the following 17 packages will be removed (61 MB):

userdrake-1.2.1-2mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied drakxtools >= 9.2-0.15mdk)
Is this OK? (y/N)

 

Hmm, so what's next, just agree to lose all those tools? Or force installation??

I used:

rpm -e postfix --nodeps

to be able to install the other stuff, as per:

http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/MandrivaQmail

you will first need to remove the postfix package (or sendmail if you chose that instead) by using rpm -e postfix --nodeps.

 

Getting on with the rest now...
