hi all

i am trying to install fedora core 2 using an apt-get dist-upgrade command (mirrors have already been changed, etc). All the files have been downloaded, but when the files try to install i get this error :

file /usr/bin/dvdrecord from install of cdrecord-2.01-0.a27.4 conflictswith file from package dvdrecord-0.1.5-1
file /usr/share/man/man1/dvdrecord.1.gz from install of cdrecord-2.01-0.a27.4 conflicts with file from package dvdrecord-0.1.5-1
E: Error while running transaction

the problem is i dont have a dvd recorder so i dont even know why this is being done (though i could be wrong). Does anyone know how to fix this issue??

thanks in advance

do either

apt-get -f install

or

apt-get remove dvdrecord

then

apt-get install cdrecord

to get cdrecord back again.

I boot the installer rather than do an upgrade instead of a huge rpm transaction because so many packages have been changed, but maybe you don't have to.
