i am using fedora core 2. Ymessenger gives and segmentation during launch. I uninstalled it.When downloaded rh9.ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm and installed it gives

package ymessenger-1.0.4-1 is already installed
file /opt/ymessenger/bin/ymessenger.bin from install of ymessenger-1.0.4-1 conflicts with file from package ymessenger-1.0.4-1
file /opt/ymessenger/lib/libgtkhtml.so.6 from install of ymessenger-1.0.4-1 conflicts with file from package ymessenger-1.0.4-1

But when i go to the /opt/ymessenger/bin/ the directory is empty. Presently i am using gaim but i like to use both.

So hw can i install messenger back?wats the cause

So is that not possible to use both gaim and messenger at once?

oops! sounds like you may have deleted the files supplied by the RPM
instead of using 'rpm -e' to remove the package from your system.

Now your system thinks the package it still installed.

have you tried uninstalling the phantom package with 'rpm -e'?

yeah id try rpm -e ymessenger

You won't be able to just "rpm -e ymessenger". The package name includes the "-1.0.4-1", so try "rpm -e ymessenger-1.0.4-1".
