Operating Systems Linux Red Hat attempting to install chkconfig 1.3.5 Post 99540 by thmnetwork on Saturday 18th of February 2006 03:32:32 PM

is a postfix rpm not available that as made for rh7.3? why not upgrade distros?

the reason I say this is cause the error message is saying that the rpm you're trying to install will overwrite files in the older chkconfig, which is listed as a dependency in another package, and so it's wanting you to now that the pacakge that depends on it could maybe malfunction if you do upgrade chkconfig, you can always just --force it, but have another RPM of the original chkconfig in case your system becomes un bootable and you have to reinstall it while booted off CD.

hope this helps
