mandrake rpm question

Env: Mdk 8.1

I downloaded the kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk.i586.rpm
from mandrake. When i try to 'pm -Uv' it, i get an error
that i need to install ncurses-devel. The ncurses that is installed
with mdk 8.1 is ncurses-5.2-16mdk.i586.rpm and the development version that is avail is ncurses-5.2-12.2mdk.i586

I can't install the devel. version because it complaints about conflicts with the installed ncurses version. I can't install the 12.2 version of ncurses because the 16 version is newer.

How can i handle these conflicts???
thanks.
Joeri

rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool SYNOPSIS
QUERYING SPEC FILES: rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ... select-options [--rpms] [--srpms] query-options [--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT] [--target TARGET_PLATFORM] QUERY OPTIONS The general form of an rpm spec query command is rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the --qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string. See rpm(8) for details. SELECT OPTIONS --rpms Operate on the binary package header(s). --srpm Operate on the source package header(s). SEE ALSO
popt(3), rpm(8), rpmdb(8), rpmkeys(8), rpmsign(8), rpm2cpio(8), rpmbuild(8), rpmspec --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual matches what's available. http://www.rpm.org/ <URL:http://www.rpm.org/> AUTHORS
